Hello Gourmets!
What do you like to consume most in the winter season? I like soup served hot the most. I have many favorite soups, including lentil soup. Today I will share with you the recipe for tomato soup , which is one of them.
This soup is usually served with toast or melted cheese. We also use different cheeses in our country, but you can use mozzarella or yellow cheese. The important thing is that the cheese melts and is fluid.
2 Full Spoons of Flour
1 Tablespoon of Butter
Half Glass of Milk (100ml)
4.5 Glasses of Water (450ml)
1 Tablespoon of Tomato Paste
Salt (Add according to your taste)
5 Tomatoes (I used 4 since my tomato was large)
We start by washing the tomatoes well. Tomatoes need to be grated after washing. If you are using grated ready-made tomatoes, you can also choose them. Even if you don't want the tomatoes to come to your mouth from the soup, you can grate them smaller with a rondo. I made the tomatoes with a grater because I like a little big. By the way, I usually use 5 tomatoes in this recipe, but one of the tomatoes at home was too big, so I used 4.
Add oil and butter to a deep pan. I prefer to use olive oil.
Once the butter has melted, add the flour. I fry the flour with oil for a few minutes. The flour will help us to give the soup a thick consistency.
When the flour is roasted, we add tomato paste and grated tomatoes into it. Continue frying for 4 minutes.
We make sure that all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed with each other. Especially flour needs to be identified with tomatoes.
Then we add 4.5 cups of water and multiply.
We add salt according to our taste. Keep stirring until the soup starts to stir and boil.
When it starts to boil, let's lower the heat of the stove a little and leave the soup on the stove for 15 minutes to cook on its own.
After 15 minutes, turn off the stove and add the milk. You can also add cream if you wish. I added milk instead of cream. After the milk is mixed, the soup is ready!
Don't forget to serve it with melted cheese!
If you experience the recipe, be sure to leave me a comment. See you in other recipes, I'll go and drink the soup now 🥰
Stay with love,
