Fresh Dutch tomato soup with meatballs and bacon. Made from fresh tomatoes, passata and stock. Wonderfully soft, slightly sweet and thick. It is a soup that you can easily make yourself in a few simple steps. And everyone loves this soup! Make it yourself quickly!
On Sunday we like to eat a bowl of soup, tomato soup this week. With a nice baguette with it. Laid Back. And if we get additional visitors, there is always enough.
And that is widely known. And this tomato soup is many people's favorite. The recipe is simple, even though it takes some time. But then you've got a super tasty soup.
With fresh tomatoes for some vitamins and tomato sauce to make the tomato soup a bit thicker and add to get that full tomato flavor.
And I add some sage. Sage is a herb that is great in combination with tomatoes. A slight accent and yet so nice.
Growing Sage
Did you know you can grow sage in your own garden? You just plant them in the garden and make sure they don't dry out the first summer. After that, they can take care of themselves most of the time. Though when you get severe frost, I would cover them up. But that counts for lots of plants.

I do love homemade soup. This is the perfect recipe for fall. Especially during harvest time when tomatoes are in abundance. So much better than store-bought.

Can you use tin tomatoes?
Andréa says
Yes, you could use 2 14 oz. cans (or a 28 oz. can, 800 grams) tinned tomatoes instead.
