Homemade Tomato Soup
Today I want to share with you a wonderful simple recipe for homemade tomato soup. I really cannot tell you where this recipe came from as I have been making it for years. I remember fondly my student days when we made huge pans of this for the whole house of 6 and it cost very little yet filled us up.
Ingredients
- 1 tin of chopped tomatoes
- stock cube (chicken or vegetable)
- squeeze of tomato ketchup
- 3 slices of bread (great for using up stale bread)
- Splash of cream or milk
This will feed a family of four. I have made double the quantity here as we will be having it for lunch and as a starter tomorrow night.
Method
- Pour tomatoes in pan
- Fill the can with water twice and add to pan
- Crumble stock cube into the pan
- Bring to the boil and simmer for 15 minutes
- Cut crusts of the bread and cut or break up into small cubes
- Add the bread to the pan, stir and simmer for another 15 minutes
- Blend the soup
- Return to the heat and simmer for further 5 minutes
- Add small amount of cream or if none in the house or prefer low fat version add a little drop of milk
Serve & enjoy!
