Clear tomato soup with shaved beef and vegetables

Clear tomato soup with shaved beef and vegetables

By Jacques Erasmus

Serves 6

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 1 hour

Ingredients

2 kg tomatoes, chopped
2 sticks celery
2 cups water
1 t fine salt
Fish sauce, to taste
1 leek, thinly sliced
1 bulb fresh garlic, thinly sliced
1 fresh chilli, thinly sliced
1 x 4 cm piece fresh ginger, thinly sliced
500 g beef fillet, cleaned and thinly sliced
Vine tomatoes, to garnish

Method

Place the tomatoes, celery, water and salt into a liquidiser and blend until smooth. Line a colander with a muslin cloth and place over a large bowl.
Pour the tomato purée into the colander and allow the clear tomato water to drip through. Gently press the tomato pulp to extract the maximum amount of clear juice. Adjust the seasoning by adding a teaspoon or two of fish sauce.
Place a small amount of shaved leek, garlic, chilli, ginger and beef into each serving bowl. Heat the tomato water and pour over the vegetables and meat. Serve immediately.
