Tomata Soup

Ingredients

• 12 tomatoes
• clarified suet or sweet oil
• 1 small Spanish onion
• flour
• salt

Instructions

1. Take the unpeeled tomatoes, Spanish onion, and a bit of clarified suet or sweet oil. Sprinkle with flour and season with salt and cayenne pepper. Boil them in a little gravy or water, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
