Tomatosoup

Of course, this is not the recipe for the delicious homemade tomato soup that is available in Friðheimar. But it's an Icelandic recipe for a very tasty tomato soup - with carrots, peppers, lots of different tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, salt and lots of pepper!

Serve with fresh bread or baguette for a nice, filling meal.

Ingredients

1 carrot
1 yellow pepper
1 Tbsp butter

2 tsp ground cumin
800 g tomatoes

freshly ground pepper
Salt
750 ml water

fresh basil

Mozzarella cheese

Preparation

Wash and clean the carrot and pepper and cut into small cubes.

Melt the butter in a large saucepan and then briefly fry the vegetables and cumin over low heat.

Wash, clean and chop the tomatoes.

Add the tomato pieces to the pot along with plenty of pepper and a little salt and simmer over low heat for about 30 minutes.

Then season the soup to taste, puree it as desired and add the fresh basil.

Cut the mozzarella cheese into slices, place on the plates, pour over the soup and sprinkle with a little pepper.

Serve the tomato soup with fresh bread, herb butter baguette or similar.
