Besides, they've kinda a hard skin, which makes them hard to chew especially for my darling baby girl.
The other evening I was staring at these tomatoes not quite knowing what to do with them, thought of sharing with my neighbor crossed my mind, while the aspect of them made me change my mind…
So, I walked to the kitchen and picked a large saucepan, I cleaned the tomatoes and put them in the saucepan, turned on the heat before adding a cup of water.
I started adding one ingredient at a time, not really having any idea what I was making. But I knew the end result will be sweet… since tomatoes are always sweet, aren't they?
It was a hot evening, so I opted for slow cooking… a thought came in, I covered them with water!
The garlic homemade tomato soup was born, and the end results were fabulously delicious.

How to make homemade tomato soup with garlic
I used dry herbs, Gal, always store some spices dry herbs they can turn a simple dish into a little heaven…
- I have put fennel and cumin seeds, oregano, basil, and bay dry leaves, 8 roughly diced garlic cloves, fresh ginger, salt, sweet paprika, cayenne pepper, and olive oil.
- The magic happens when you let the dry herbs, seed, and garlic cook for a while.
- Always start with cooking the seeds and dry herbs in dry heat. Put them in a saucepan and let them cook for 4-5 mins on medium-low heat without oil. Next, add garlic and ginger and cook for 2 more mins then add oil.
- Let the garlic fry and become crispy, it release the aroma and flavor that will fill your kitchen, and that's when you know, "this is gonna be sweet"!
- Now add your whole tomatoes.
- Cover with water, after the boiling takes place, cook for 45 mins or for an hour
