I prepared this soup for a German food blog event: Summer Soups – well, the calendar says it is still summer but the weather cannot read, I’m afraid.
This soup is really simple and quick to prepare. And it is also useful for minimizing large stocks of tomatoes.
Though the sun was shining, it was still too cold to eat outside. So we sat in the dining room behind glass windows and simulated the summer.
