© Thomas NeckermannTomatoes: Which tomato varieties you prefer is up to you. Main thing, ripe and red! The small Roma tomatoes in our soup are beautifully aromatic. Just normal tomatoes that have enough sun, but do it too. Are not there, just take canned tomatoes.
onions: Round brown household bulbs with shiny skin that feel firm are the right ones - they deliver a nice sweetness. When onions are already sprouted, they become soft and wobbly. They have nothing to look for in the pot, but are a case for the compost!
Thyme: This aromatic herb is a great partner for tomatoes. As good as the two grow in the garden next to each other, they are also in the food. It is best to always tie twigs of thyme together with a twine, then you will not have the bare stalks in the pot later on. It does not matter to our recipe because everything is sifted through.
Tomato paste: Tube or can? That makes no difference in taste. Tomato paste from the tin is so nostalgic, but must be used up immediately, otherwise it dries. From the tube it is therefore more practical: just remove the required amount, cover it on and off in the fridge!
Fat: Butter or olive oil? Both fit. And do not heat them up too much so that nothing burns.
Tip for your tomato soup
Most tomato varieties have a lot of acidity. On the other hand, adding a little pinch of sugar while tasting helps to complete the taste.
