I have always wanted to make this soup using big fresh sweet juicy tomatoes only to realize it is not going to happen. Such tomatoes don’t exist here. They are all sour. So I tried using Italian canned tomatoes which turn out great!
Italian canned tomatoes
Loads of fresh basil
The hottest chili you can find, chopped
One onion, chopped
Fresh milk (use cream if preferred)
Olive oil
Sea salt
Freshly crushed black pepper
In a pot, fry onions and chili in olive oil till onions starts to brown. Pour in tomatoes and simmer for 15 minutes. Add in all the basil, pepper and salt. Simmer for another 15 minutes. Blend everything in a food processor till smooth. Return to pot and add milk. Bring to boil and serve immediately with crusty bread.
