Hi there. I really want to make this soup. I am one of those that cook by following the recipes to every comma and period. So my question is: how many (diced?) tomatoes should I use?
Thank you!
So sorry for the missing ingredient, I just deleted the line by mistake I think:/ You should use 1 tomato, I also updated the recipe. I hope you will like the soup.
