I made this for the DM's lunch and she really enjoyed it though I did omit the cayenne and my celery did not have leaves so used some cilantro leaves (which gave a litte anisede flavour which complimented the tomato - well from my taste test it did). To peel the tomato I slit it with a cross on the bottom and plunged it into hot boiling water for about 15 seconds (depending on the size of your tomato this could be 10 to 20 seconds) and it peeled so easy but only allowed 20 minutes cooking time in the broth (home made no salt and did not add salt due to the DM's diet requirements) taking into consideration the size of the tomato. The DM enjoyed with some crusty bread and I was happy. Thank you loof, made for ZAAR Cookbook Tag Gam,e.

If you like tomatoes, you will love this recipe! Very flavourful and easy to make. To remove the tomato skin, I had to score it and boil for a minute and shock in ice water. The only problem with the end result was that the broth is really salty. When I make it again, I'm going to use low-sodium bouillon and no extra salt. Besides that, the taste is divine! Served with a lightly toasted piece of sourdough bread. Made for Photo Tag. Thanks loof! :)
