- Creamy Tomato Soup Recipe

Assalamualaikum..wth,

Last weekend masa Chik Na singgah kat blog Sister's Little Diary, Chik Na nampak Cik Siti share recipe Tomato Soup... ianya buat Chik Na termimpi-mimpi nak makan soup tu. Teringat masa dok Istanbul n masa ikut En. Zaidi outstation ke Ankara, selalunya bila kami makan kat luar mesti order sup tersebut. Sup Tomato kat sana memang sangat sedap...  most of  restoren mesti ada jual sup tomato :-)

Disebabkan teringin sangat nak makan soup tu, maka last monday Chik Na pun buat la sendiri soup tomato  yang kebetulan pula kat fridge memang dah ada chicken stock yg Chik Na buat dua-tiga hari sebelum tu. Masa tu niat nak buat Creamy Mushroom Soup

Creamy Tomato Soup ...sedap dimakan dengan Garlic Bread :-)

2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1/2 tsp fresh thyme leaves, plus extra for garnish ( Chik Na guna dried thyme)
