Otis Scops aka Crash Course<p>Tomato soup recipe<br>================</p><p>On a cold rainy day I like to have something warm with my lunch. </p><p>What to do when there are no leftovers from yesterday? Well, you throw together a simple tomato soup.</p><p>I always go by my intuition and use what's available, but some say, "hey, that's a nice soup, what's the recipe?"</p><p>Well here it is:</p><p>I this case I made two full cups, and I'll give the quantities below for appr. two cups.</p><p>I start with two spoons full of both chopped onion and grated carrot and stir fry that in a two spoons of olive oil. When that gets brownish I add 50/50 tomato juice and water. I don't use 100% tomato juice, to keep the soup a bit lighter. When using tomato concentrate you made even get away with 25-30% concentrate and the rest water.<br>The I add a good spoon full of dried leeks, a small spoon barley flakes, a bit of garlic and sambal (spicy chili/piri paste), a slice of ginger, salt and a sniff of smoked sweet pepper powder. Finally salt and the secret ingredient, a tiny bit of sugar.</p><p>Of course everything goes to (my) taste, so next time I'll use less flakes and more sambal.</p><p>Instead of flakes you can of course use pasta, rice, noodles or nothing. Flakes are almost instantly cooked, so that's nice.</p><p>Bom appetit!</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/recipe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>recipe</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/food" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>food</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/cooking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cooking</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/soup" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>soup</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/tomato" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tomato</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/lunch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>lunch</span></a></p>
