I use this soup to show young people how stupid it is to buy a pack of this or a pack of that, which supposedly should make your life easier, but instead cost more, has less nourishment, and takes longer. This soup takes 5 minutes.
You need:
1 tablespoon of wheat flower
1 tablesppon of butter
1 heaped tablespoon of tomato paste
1 heaped teaspoon of builion powder - any kind (or a cube or two)
1 liter (4 cups) of water
In a saucepan mix together the butter, flower and tomato paste while stiring. Add the water gradually and let the soup come to a boil. Taste it and check the color. You want it really red, so add some more tomato paste if it is not, and if you want it saltier, add some more builion. Ready to serve....(the pack of soup mix, will still need to boil for another 5 minutes)!
You can put pasta in it and let it boil in the soup till it's done or you can put croutons on top. Cut slices of bread (it can be stale) into cubes and fry them in olive oil till they are light brown. Let them drip off on a piece of paper towel and season them with a bit of salt and some garlic powder, or you can chop some garlic and fry it with the bread.
