Ingredients

1 pound tomatoes (preferably in-season fresh tomatoes; cut into 1-inch/2.5cm chunks. 1 pound/450g = about 2 large)
1 pound russet potatoes (or any potato you like; cut into sticks similar to french fries. 1 pound/450g = about 3 medium)
2 tablespoons neutral oil
6 cups water
1 scallion (finely chopped)
salt (to taste)

Instructions

Prepare the tomatoes and potatoes. If you’re not cooking the soup right away, keep the potatoes in a bowl of cold water to prevent them from oxidizing (turning brown).
Heat oil in a medium soup pot over medium-high heat, and add the tomatoes. Cook for 3-5 minutes, until tomatoes have softened and broken down a bit.
Add the water and potato, and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, cover, reduce the heat to medium, and cook for 15 minutes. Finally, add the scallion and salt to taste (don’t be afraid to be generous with the salt). Serve hot or at room temperature!
