Heinz Rig Red tomato soup is a great product. Except that it is overloaded
with salt and natural msg. Homemade Tomato soup is just so much better, that
it is worth taking the time to make it. It really is. I say do not add salt.
The salt from the butter and tomato paste is enough to set off the natural
msg found in the over ripe tomato's. I tried a dozen variations and this is
my favourite. How it might have been made in the 1970's. Don't use the
packet stocks available in supermarkets. You will just ruin the soup with
far too much salt. For the stock in this recipe I simmer 2 litres of water for an hour ahead of time with a corn cob, a carrot, a turnip, a potato, an onion and some garlic. |

1 kg ripe tomatoes. Almost rotten! 1 onion 4 cloves garlic 2 Tbs salted butter 1 Tbs vegetable oil 750ml Vegetable stock. Fresh home made. 2 Tbs Tomato paste 150 ml cream Fresh Basil Pepper |
If the tomatoes are firm enough you may boil them for 30
seconds and peel the skin off. Otherwise it will be removed anyway at the
sieve stage. Heat the butter and oil and add the onion and just saute. maybe 1 min. Serve warm and garnish with a stream of cream on top.
