Instructions

Fry the meat 

• Dice the Jamonilla.

Swaps and substitutions   

Add fresh basil after blending the soup for the first time. Blend again until the basil leaves are broken into tiny pieces, add more if desired. Fresh basil adds a refreshing taste which is great for warmer days where you fancy something lighter. 

If you want an even more filling version of the tomato soup, simply add pasta. The best type of pasta for soup is spaghetti, tortellini, or fusilli but you can use whatever kind of pasta you have at home.
