Tomato Soup

6 persons, 4,00€, Easy

This is my favourite summer soup, it can be served hot or cold and it is so colourful and absolutely tasty. It's better done with proper tomatoes that you should buy from local producers or markets. Avoid supermarkets for fruits and vegetables, they are always tasteless, and more expensive.

Ingredients:
1 sweet potato
6-8 red ripe tomatoes
2 onions
1 tbspn olive oil
Salt
Basil Leaves
Water

How to prepare:

1. Peel the sweet potato and and the onions, and slice into cubes.
2. Wash and cut the tomatoes into medium bits,
3. Place the ingredients in a pressure pot, as it keeps the tastes and is a lot faster.
4. Add some water, just to cover the potatoes and onions. Careful not to add too much water, as the soup will loose its creamy texture.
5. Season with the olive oil and the salt. Cover the pressure pot with the appropriate lid and put on the hob for about 10-15 minutes.
6. When the pot has lost all the pressure, open it carefully and blend it in the food blender, until there are no visible pieces of vegetable.
7. Use the basil leaves for an extra touch of colour and flavour.
