From my experience, it&#8217;s not hard at all to whip up a tasty dish using simple ingredients and in less time. During my last grocery shopping, I had bought a huge bag of tomatoes, I&#8217;ve no idea why. Every time I opened the refrigerator I stared at the tomatoes, and somehow got distracted by other veggies. It was last weekend, finally I got motivated in emptying those tomatoes. If I want to finish all the tomatoes, there was nothing better than making soup out of it.<\/p>\n<p>As always my requirements were to spend less time in my kitchen and to make a flavorful soup. For making this soup, I used very basic and simple ingredients that are always found in our kitchen. While making this soup, I was little concerned whether this soup would turn out to be blant as I didn&#8217;t even add stock to it. Trust me, when I tasted this soup it was hard for me to believe that it only had a very few ingredients. After having a few sips of this soup, my hubby raised his thumps not down but upwards. He didn&#8217;t talk much as he was busy enjoying the soup. On a lazy winter day this soup would be perfect.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Easy Tomato Soup<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Makes: 2 large bowls<\/li>\n<li>Preparation: 15
