Tomato soup is a bit of a big deal with me. We grow our own tomatos from seeds which we get from a fantastic supplier called Seeds of Italy . We grow a good mixture, but always make sure we have plenty of the large firm plum tomatoes that the itallians love for making sauces and soups. If you grow several varieties, combining them in different ways can make wonderful soup variations - some sweeter, some lighter, some richer.
This recipe could not be easier and if you have been brought up thinking Heinze Tomato Soup tastes of tomatoes, then this will blow your socks off!

Chicken soup is one of those underrated, often badly cooked, essentials that is not just the mainstay of any Jewish mother, but of all who like great soup. There are a thousand variations to this soup, and I will no doubt be putting up some more as we go along.
But this is your standard starter for 10 - a great, easy to drink, 100% authentic, good for all occasions, chicken soup! The trick here is, of course, great ingredients. In this case I suggest small free range chickens. Slow grown and nice and fit. If they have fat, ridiculous breasts on them, then you have chosen wrongly.
By the way, this works best when started the previous day.
