Tomato soup with basil

First, score all tomatoes with a cross, place them in a bowl, and pour hot water over them. Wait about 5 minutes. Then you can easily peel them all.

We still need to remove the inner seeds from the peeled tomatoes, so quarter them and simply cut out or squeeze out the seeds. Place the prepared tomatoes into a food processor and blend into a coarse 'mash'.

Peel and finely chop the shallots and garlic.
