Use your favourite recipe to make either a cream based or non-creamy tomato soup. Both work very well to create an irresistibly smoky tomato soup that is mouth-wateringly delicious, right down to the last spoonful!

Replace a portion of the stock with strongly brewed Lapsang Souchong tea. To make 1 liter, use 3 cups of stock, and 1 cup ofLapsang Souchong tea. To make the strongly brewed Lapsang Souchong tea, use 3 tbsp. of tea to 1 cup water. Bring water to a full rolling boil. Steep 5 minutes and strain. Then pour the brewed tea into the soup pot, along with the stock. Stir to combine.

Garnish with basil or parsley.
