Three Generation Tomato Soup


Courtesy Carol Oates

This soup recipe was bought to new Zealand from India by the late Canon Hadlow and his wife Sheila and is a popular recipe to this day.

Notes from Carol:  As I don’t have or could not find a Mouli i waited until the mixture was cool (second attempt) and put it through my food processor/blender.

WARNING:  Wait until the mixture is cool, trust me it is not wise to put hot mixture through a blender, kitchen whizz.  kitchen walls don’t look pretty when hot mixture shoots out from the blender.  I now have a blender stick and it works really well.
