Old Fashioned Tomato Soup with Rice

The old fashioned tomato soup is a classic and authentic German recipe as it was used by my grandmother. You would add rice to this soup which is a great combination with tomatoes. Important is to use ONLY ripe tomatoes to make this soup.
Alternatively you can use peeled tomatoes from the can but they should be without salt or any spices.Try this soup and you will make it over and over. Happy Cooking!
