3. 1 large onion quartered
4. 2 cloves garlic peeled
5. 1 thumb size slice of ginger minced with skin on

Additional Information:
I have to say, this is a magic cooker. It is truly amazing. I love soup and Daddy FECS gave this Philips Viva Collection Soup maker to me for Christmas and I love it.
After a week of feasting at Christmas, we have been making soup everyday. It is amazing how tasty the soup turned out, considering how simple and basic the recipe is, and healthy too. There is no meat, no oil, just the vegetables, salt and pepper. I was a little skeptical initially, but decided to follow the recipe. And I was sold at the turn out. Even our Little FECS loves the soup, and Daddy FECS too. We did not even add the garnishes and I did not even cook the soup with chicken stock. I reduced the sugar from the original 1 TBS to 1/2 TBS. If your tomatoes are super sweet during summer time, you can even skip the sugar all together. The taste and sweetness is purely from the vegetables. I have tried many of the other recipes - sweet corn, broccoli, carrot and chicken soup, and they all taste equally good.
The secret I think, as I study the recipe, lies in the proportion of vegetables and water - all the recipe is the same - 1 part vegetable and 1 part water.
It makes approx. 1.2 litre of soup, enough to serve 4. Initially I thought it seems a little on the small side, but I was wrong. It was enough for all of us.
And the best thing is, it is a tasty and effortless way for us to squeeze in all the vegetables and its vitamins into our diet. Our Little FECS does not like tomatoes at all. But he finished all his bowl of tomato soup and asked for more :-)
You can also use this tomato soup as a base for other dishes such as braised beef.
The most tasty and perfect tomato soup is made with Miss Perfect tomatoes, available from Netto or Føtex supermarket.
This tomato soup is estimated to cost 55 DKK per pot. Each pot can serve 6 bowls. Each bowl costs 9 DKK. But mommy’s time and labor isn’t free. Mommy’s min. labor cost of buying groceries, preparing the ingredients and cleaning up cost 100 DKK per hour. Adding this min. labor cost, the whole pot will cost 155 DKK. Each bowl will cost 26 DKK.
Mommy’s opportunity cost of being a full time mom instead of staying in the corporate world is at least 300 DKK per hour. Off-setting this opportunity cost, this pot of tomato soup will cost 355 DKK. Each bowl will cost 59 DKK. It will be better for them to go to a restaurant than hiring my labor.
Please allow me to write a memory with J in Chinese for myself:
妈妈的西红柿汤是良药
23 Oct 2026:
如果大儿子自己做的话，一碗11克郎。
如果请妈妈做的话，一碗71克郎
大儿子，你要学习自己做啊。生命何等短暂，不管寿命多长，总有一天妈妈不会在你们的身边。用口讲他们没耐心听😅 圣灵给了我一个好主意，叫我把要教孩子们做的西红柿汤食谱写下来，在这里也顺便把这食谱分享给大家🤗❤️
要吃神造的食物，不要吃人造的食物❤️❤️
大儿子这几天熬夜考试后生病了，这就是平时不努力，临时抱佛脚的代价[撇嘴] 但他不承认[捂脸]我还是住嘴吧
他要求妈妈做的西红柿汤，让他能快快好起来，和朋友出去玩。高中的生活
我说我去超市买你最喜欢的西红柿汤给你。
我说我去超市买你最喜欢的西红柿汤给你。他说不要，要喝妈妈煮的西红柿汤才会好起来。他说上次就是喝了妈妈煮的西红柿汤好起来的。他这次生病也让我看到了他是明白要吃神造的食物，不要吃人造的食物，才会病好的。这个我想灌输给孩子们的道理，上帝昨晚让我知道他听懂了
原来如此，在大儿子的眼里，我的西红柿汤是良药
原来如此，在大儿子的眼里，我的西红柿汤是良药这两周他在考试，我也更忙了 忙着为他做补身补脑的饭，让他能够好好地去考试。大儿子在考试中，感觉我也在考试中。好像当妈妈的都是一辈子在为孩子而忙的。我把我的一生送给这个家，象耶稣钉死在十字架一样。但我不如耶稣，我是为自己的家人献上生命钉死十字架，而耶稣是为陌生人献上生命钉死十字架。
