Simple and Fresh Tomato Soup
Fresh ingredients make the best soup. Creamy tomato soup is like a warm cozy blanket on a cold rainy day. It is filling and comforting and ready in minutes. Instead of pairing it with the usual
What is Cassava Bread
Cassava bread is almost like a big cracker and made with yucca. This type of cracker or bread is primarily sold in ethnic supermarkets. At breakfast time, cassava bread is served with peanut and jelly. In Haiti, for example, homemade hot and spicy peanut butter is usually served with cassava bread. Let’s not forget a homemade jam.
Fresh Tomatoes vs. Canned Tomatoes
Using fresh tomatoes is better in my opinion. You cannot compare the taste of fresh to canned tomatoes. You just can’t! Fresh tomatoes are tastier and healthier.
The tomatoes are simmered down with carrots, garlic, thyme, parsley, shallots, sweet pepper, and Noubess Hot and Spicy Original Sauce. The mixture is a marriage of deliciously rich flavors that come together in under an hour.
Fresh is always better
When making a vegetable soup, fresh ingredients are always better to use. Rich and juicy tomatoes are sizzled with a good brand of olive oil with shallots and bell peppers. The perfect start to a homemade soup.
Fresh garlic, parsley, thyme with Noubess Original Hot and Spicy Sauce add the perfect balance of flavors. All the ingredients are simmered in chicken stock for about 30 minutes. The tomato mixture is pureed to a smooth texture using a blender.
To create a creamy texture for the tomato soup, I added a little bit of regular hot milk. The milk won’t start curdling once you add it to the tomato soup. Use a whisk to blend everything quickly and bring to a gentle simmer. The soup is ready after five minutes.
