Notes
A delicious tomato soup always tastes… At least, in my family anyway… As a child I loved the little meat balls and they were the first to disappear. Now, with vegetarians in the house, I make them with bread crusts. And I also like the soup velvety soft, which is possible thanks to the sweet potato. So here’s a recipe for the well-known tomato soup, but… with my own twist…
