Polish Tomato Soup {Zupa Pomidorowa}
My mom often made tomato soup on Mondays. If you read my chicken soup {rosół} post, you know that we always ate rosół on Sundays, providing a time-saving base for tomato soup on Mondays. It’s like leftovers, but better, because you’re not eating the same thing again.
When I first came to America and tasted tomato soup, I thought it was very sweet. Everything seemed a lot sweeter as a matter of fact. I was used to a more tangy and bold tomato flavor. I think this soup is a bit more savory than you may expect from a tomato soup but I hope you find this soup as a nice alternative.

Turn to boil. Add peeled carrots and cook uncovered until it thickens a bit, about 15 minutes on medium-low or low.
Taste. Add salt, if needed. If you have some leftover chicken meat, you may also add to soup to heat through.
Turn heat off, add sugar, cream and butter.
Serve with pasta or rice, carrot slices and chicken meat, garnished with parsley.
*You can use leftover chicken soup or use your favorite stock. I normally make it with leftover chicken soup.
