Description
A hearty first course. Chinese tomato soup takes only minutes to prepare. It will appeal to all tomato lovers—the tomatoes used for this dish should be of a sweet variety. If necessary, add a little sugar to the soup. Salt is not specified in this recipe due to the presence of soy sauce, but you may season with salt to taste if needed.
