I got this recipe from a cookbook called Easy Cooking: Step-By-Step by Bev Bennett. I modified the recipe because the one in the book was much more complicated, and I skipped some of the ingredients because they weren’t available in the supermarket. It still turned out delicious though, so I hope you try it out.
Ingredients:
1. 20 Tomatoes
2. 1/2 cup butter
3. 2 teaspoons olive oil
3. 1 finely diced red onion
4. 1 small green pepper, seeded and finely diced
5. 1 teaspoon parsley
6. 1 teaspoon basil
7. 1/4 cup tomato paste
8. 2 tablespoons flour
9. 4 cups chicken stock
10. 2 tablespoons brown sugar
11. salt and pepper
12. 1 cup heavy cream
13. 3/4 cup parmesan cheese
Instructions:
1. Boil water. Put tomatoes in boiling water for a few seconds. Remove from water. Take off the skin.
2. Cut the tomatoes.
3. Put olive oil and butter in saucepan. Wait for butter to melt.
4. Add onion and saute until transparent.
5. Add tomatoes.
6. Add basil, parsley, and green pepper.
7. Add tomato paste. Simmer and stir for 10 minutes.
8. Mix flour with chicken broth.
9. Add the tomato mixture. Bring to a boil. Add salt and pepper. Simmer for 15 minutes.
10. Whip cream until stiff. Fold in parmesan cheese.
11. At this point, you can already add a teaspoon of the whip cream mix to the soup and eat the soup. If you want to get rid of the tomato chunks, you have to set it aside to cool, then blender it.
12. Heat it up and add the whip cream mix.
Eat up and enjoy!

The tomato soup looks great! Thanks for sharing. The only thing missing for an American eating tomato soup would be the oyster crackers. Despite their name, oyster crackers are not made with oysters, but are small, round or hexagon shaped crackers, which are popular to put in soups, stews, chili con carne and chowders.
Have a great weekend.

Cool! I haven’t tried oyster crackers. If I find them in the supermarket, I’ll buy some. Thanks!
