Method :
Britain has a
long tradition of soup-making. Soups are very easy to make and the
ingredients are not expensive. Tomato soup is a great favorite. Many
people know only the tinned kind, which is sad, because homemade tomato
soup is not difficult to make and is delicious.
If you are
using fresh tomatoes, put them into a bowl and cover them with boiling
water. Leave for 1 minute. Then you can remove the skins easily. Cut
each tomato into four pieces. Take out the seeds. If you are using a tin
of tomatoes, put the tomatoes through the sieve, keep the juice and
throw away the seeds. Peel and chop the onion and carrot. Melt the
butter in a saucepan. Add the onion and carrot. Put a lid on the
saucepan and cook slowly for 5 minutes. Do not let the vegetables brown.
Take the
saucepan off the heat. Add the flour and stir well. Add the tomatoes and
their juice, the water, bayleaf, sugar, nutmeg and salt and pepper. Put
the saucepan back on the heat and stir until the soup boils. Cook slowly
for 30 minutes. Then put the soup through the sieve or electric blender.
Wash the saucepan. Then put the soup back in the saucepan. Heat it
again. Check the seasonings. Add more salt and pepper if necessary. Pour
the soup into individual bowls. You can add a little cream or grated
cheese to each bowl before serving.
