Spicy Tomato Soup image

This recipe has been in my family for as long as I can remember. Ever since I was a kid, I can remember my Mother's Tomato Soup on those cold winter's nights while sitting on the poarch on one of the cattle stations, listening to the quiet chatter of the stockmen preparing for an early start on Monday morning. Sunday evening was one of the few times of the week that we could have my Mum to ourselves. The rest of the week was rather busy with early morning starts and busy evenings perparing the bread dough, biscuits and cakes for breakfast and morning teas.

  • Feel free to dip your chunks of bread into the soup.
