What each ingredient does
- Tomatoes
- Provide the main body, acidity and flavor of the soup.
- Cornstarch
- Thickens the liquid as it heats, giving the soup a smoother body.
The step that matters
Thicken with cornstarch as desired. Cornstarch must be heated in the liquid to swell and thicken it. Added to cold liquid it clumps, so stir it into a simmering soup, or mix it with a little cold water first.
