Tomato soup – a first but definitely not a last!
The other day it was cold, I wanted to eat something light but warm and we had recently bought way too many tomatoes on sale at the supermarket.
I made tomato soup for the first time. It’s fairly easy, and the ingredients seem to be pretty flexible from recipe to recipe… I chose the following, which are basically a mix of what I read!
Did you know I make my own bouillon cubes?
…until they’re nice and soft. One recipe said to add butter to remove the acidity, but I add baking soda. Because my mother does, and because I’m a scientist so I know that butter covers the acidity whereas baking soda eliminates the acidity.
Anyhow.
One of the recipes called for sherry at this point, and I remembered that onion soup also needs something alcoholic at the end (I think I remember brandy) so since we didn’t have any sherry on hand we added brandy. On second thoughts however maybe port would have been a better choice because it’s more liquory.
And you’re done! Another easy and comforting food that you can prepare with simple ingredients that you probably already have at home. Enjoy!

Thank you! It took a while to get the hang of it…remember, vertical photos are distracting 😉 Try to stay with square or horizontal!
