Why Choose Greengrocer Tomatoes?
Supermarket tomatoes are often hard, less flavorful, and lack the vivid color that makes tomato soup so appealing. Greengrocers, on the other hand, are fresh, offer juicy, ripe tomatoes that are bursting with flavor and provide the perfect flavours and colour for a delicious soup.
Bay leaves - Yes, yes!
Bay leaves are essential in this recipe, contributing a unique flavor that defines this soup. Without them, I wouldn't even consider making it.
Serve warm or cold?
This soup is best when served slightly cooled, presenting a more exquisite flavour and silky texture
Let's make it;
Ingredients you'll need:
500g Juicy tomatoes
2 Large onions
2 Bay leaves
Salt and sugar to balance the taste

How to make:
- Heat oil in a heavy bottom tall pan and drop in two bay leaves, chopped onions, and garlic
- Fry until onions are soft. Do not brown them
