Tomato Soup
Ingredients:
4 large ripe tomatoes, chopped
1 onion, diced
1 celery stalk, diced
1 cup chicken stock

1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt

- Season with salt. Turn off the heat.
- Use a hand held stick blender, blitz the soup till all contents are liquified.

Note: Replace the chicken stock with vegetable stock for a vegetarian/vegan version of the soup
