I finally managed to use a laptop for something other than work. I also managed to do something other than defrosting in my kitchen. Yeah.

So here you can see the result of my endeavours: tomato soup with olives and shrimp

Looks good and tastes spicy enough for me.

• tomatoes
• onions
• olives
• pepper/ salt, herbs and spices
• shrimps
• smetana or crème fraîche

You should start by preparing the tomatoes by removing the seeds (leave them in if you are not that sensitive to them). Fry the onions in a small bit of butter and add the tomatoes when you are happy with their colour (and smell).

Simmer for a bit and use a mixer to get the texture right. Go wild with the spices and the herbs.

Fry the shrimps and add to the soup.

Add olives and serve with a blob of crème fraîche.
