This soup is an excellent example on how to make a simple everyday dish , exciting and fancy. Its as simple at that, just take a normal tomato soup, add in chopped celery , give it a boil , add a dollop of cream and VOILA! a lovely fresh exotic soup.
You have the additional trick of using packaged tomato soup if you don't have the time to make it. But in love the longer process , and if you do too, here it is.
4 firm red tomatoes, 1/2 a potato peeled and diced, 2 inch piece of carrot peeled and diced, 1 small onion chopped,2 cloves garlic chopped, 1 stalk of fresh celery or about 2 heaped tbsp of chopped celery . salt and pepper to taste. Fresh cream to garnish
Cut the tomatoes into half and scoop out the seeds.In a large pot put in the tomatoes, carrot, potato, onion, garlic and 4 cups of water. Cover and cook till the carrots and potatoes are tender. Cool , blend into a smooth paste and strain. Put the strained soup into another pan , season with salt and pepper and the chopped celery. Cook till it comes to a boil, lower the flame and let simmer for 5 mins. Serve the soup with a dollop of fresh cream.
Garlic bread, soup sticks, croutons or crackers go well with this soup.
