Awesome Rustic Tomato Soup

I don`t know where YOU live, but here in Germany, tomatoes are not so tasty in winter (now), it`s too cold for them to grow and we get that horrible greenhouse tomatoes from the Netherlands that grew on mineral cotton and taste like nothing.
But I wanted to post it already such a long time ago.
I really want to share that now with you, because it`s an f***ing awesome basic recipe, and so tasty! I got it from a friend and we both agreed: everybody should have the possibility to enjoy it!...I guess, most of my readers do not live in cold cold Germany. Probably you are lucky and live in a country where you can enjoy tomatoes RIGHT NOW in their best way.

>> When the soup is kind of thick and viscid, a little lumpy, kind of irregular mushy, it`s perfect.
Have  a look, if you need more water (you can also add a little gulp of red wine or white wine).
When it has the right consistency, add some oliveoil.
