Tomato and Paprika Soup
"I made this recipe with ingredients I had in the kitchen today. I was given the last of the tomatos from one of my friends gardens, I had a few potatos, some celery and so I set out to make soup. Wasn't sure what the end result would be, but apparently it is a hit with my family, bless them, I love their encouragement."

We have an abundance of fresh tomatoes in the garden this year, so I had to find something to make using them and this was perfect. I've never made a tomato soup before and found this to be easy and very good. I followed the recipe as closely as I could, except I used chicken bouillon instead of the veggie bouillon (I'd love to know where to find vegetable bouillon cubes) I also substituted V-8 juice (16oz) for the tomato juice since that is what I had on hand. I used the blender to puree everything and served it just like that. It was a nice thick soup that I'll make again. The only thing I would add would be a little salt or Mrs. Dash. Thanks for sharing.
