Thanks for your question ~ Daughter-in-distress:
How do you make tomato soup - do you use a tin of tomatoes?
Here's how I make my home-made Quick Hot Diet Tomato Soup:
It's as quick and easy as this:
Find a market and buy:
Large bagful of ripe Tomatoes, an Onion, an Orange and a Stock Cube.
Peel the skin off the tomatoes:
[Slit the skins around the circumference of the tomato with a sharp knife.
Put in a pan and cover with boiling water.
The skins will begin to curl back and you can peel them]
Chop onion and fry in a drop of oil.
Add tomatoes, stock cube, pint of water - grate some orange peel into the mix.
Cook for 20 mins or so.
Squeeze the orange and add the juice to the mix.
Add Black Pepper to taste.
Liquidise.
EAT. [ You can add a drop of milk or fresh cream / top with croutons or cheese]
..... or all of the above.
Enjoy,
Gillian
