Clear Tomato Soup is a light and healthy alternative to creamy soups. This soup is made with fresh, ripe tomatoes that are simmered until soft. The soup is then strained to remove any pulp and seeds, leaving only a clear, savory broth. Basil is added for a unique flavor, and sugar is used to balance the acidity of the tomatoes. This soup is perfect for a cold winter day or for an elegant dinner party. Serve alongside a crusty bread and garnish with fresh herbs or croutons for added texture.

Instructions

1.	Rinse the tomatoes thoroughly and cut into small pieces.
2.	Preheat a large pot on medium-high heat and add the tomatoes.
3.	Pour in enough water to cover the tomatoes and add salt. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer.
4.	Simmer for 45 minutes, or until the tomatoes are soft.
5.	Remove from heat and let the soup cool slightly.
6.	Strain the soup through a fine mesh sieve and discard any pulp and seeds.
7.	Pour the clear tomato soup back into the pot and place on low heat.
8.	Add in the fresh basil leaves and sugar, and simmer for another 10 minutes.
9.	Serve hot and enjoy!
