抄来的:

材料:
3 lb ripe tomatoes, peeled and chopped (我们俩就用了四个西红柿, 熬出来的汤也就一人一碗差不多)
1 large onion, peeled and finely chopped
1 clove of garlic, crushed
1 large potato, peeled and grated
fresh basil leaves
2 - 3 cups chicken or vegetable stock
1 tablespoon tomato purée (懒得弄, 省掉了)
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 tablespoon of olive oil
a knob of butter

步骤:
1. peel the tomatoes (place tomatoes in to a bowl and pour boiling water over, leave a few seconds, the peel should come off easily) (这样剥皮的确容易些)
2. sweat the chopped onion in the heated olive oil until soft
3. add the chopped tomatoes, tomato purée, crushed garlic, salt and pepper some of the basil leaves and stir
4. pour the stock over it and let it simmer for 30 - 40 minutes
5. grate a potato into the soup and let it simmer another 10 -15 minutes
6. blend it until smooth, if no pips are required push through a sieve
7. let some butter melt in the soup
8. decorate with basil leaves serve with olive foccacia.
