Before I proceed with this beautiful tomato soup recipe, I would like to make an announcement about my new blog.

Some attentive blog readers have already noticed the small box that I placed on the right side of the blog, which links to my new blog. I started publishing on the 1st of Jan, 2014 but before I shared the news with you guys here I wanted the new blog to have at least a few recipes.

As you know, Thermomix is an indispensable piece of my kitchen and the best assistant I can ever get. I use Thermomix for almost anything.

Nevertheless, in time I had also some traditional recipes piled up. Even if I wanted to share them too, I preferred not to do so because I didn't want to impair the integrity of a blog that carried Thermomix word in its name.

On the other hand, I got used to reading recipes online, even my own ones. It helps me to see photos, tips, my small changes... So, I decided to organize my traditional recipes in a second blog and named it as Klasik Tarif Defterim, which literally means My Classical Recipe Book.

The bonus of the new blog will be that, this way, I will be able to publish the marvellous, award-winning (literally) recipes of Lucia who is my mother-in-law.
Even though Lucia is that holy person who gifted me my Thermomix, she herself is using traditional methods as moms, grannies of most of us. 
Her traditional recipes also will be in the new blog. I am preparing a series titled as "Recipes from Italian Cuisine with Lucia".

Let's come to the recipe now.

I've always liked soup. In the past if my mom made creamy tomato soup that day I would be the happiest. 

I know it is not quite possible to find some good and delicious tomatoes in winter time however, to tell you the truth, I didn't have patience to wait for sunny summer days in order to prepare this beautiful soup.

Ingredients:

40 g butter
40 g flour
35 g tomato paste
800 g tomatoes, washed and roughly chopped
500 g water
1 tsp Thermomix Meat or Vegetable Concentrate
1 tsp sugar
Salt (if needed)
100 g heavy cream
Freshly ground black pepper
Croutons

Preparation:

• Melt butter for 2 - 3 minutes at 90ºC on Speed 1. 

• Add flour and cook for 1 minute at 90ºC on Speed 2-3. 

• Add tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes at 90ºC on Speed 2-3.
