INSTRUCTIONS
From a web site of the University of Kaiserslautern, Germany (Source:
"Kochen rund um's Jahr", by Heidemarie Freund)
Cut the tomatoes into halves or quarters, depending on size. (I peeled them
first.) Finely chop onions. Melt butter in a casserole add onions, season
with salt, thyme and rosemary. Fry onions until soft. Add tomatoes and fry
them together with the onions for another 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
Add the bay leaf and the beef stock. With the lid closed let the soup
simmer at low heat for about 40 minutes. Then pass the soup through a sieve
or blend it in a mixer. (I put my small hand-held mixer into the casserole
and it worked well.) For a short moment, bring the soup to a boil again.
Then add salt and pepper to taste and pour the gin into the soup. Mix well.
Serve with a spoonful of whipped cream on each portion.
