The other day I had so many tomatoes left on the counter that looked very dark and ripe, also felt soft to the touch. I immediately researched recipes and came up with making a creamy Tomato soup from scratch
I had boiled some chicken pieces earlier, so I had broth ready to go. I grow oregano in my herb garden, but read this tomato soup can also be prepared with fresh thyme and rosemary. To do this, I washed 2 sprigs of each herb, shake it dry and strip the oregano or rosemary, thyme leaves, from the sprigs and chop finely. Bring to the boil together with the cream.
