When boiling it will reduce a little, then add 4 tomatoes in medium size pieces, (for round tomatoes approx 8 pieces each) cook for 15 more minutes. Finally, add 1⁄2 teaspoon salt, 1⁄4 teaspoon garlic powder and a dash of pepper. Keep it boiling  for 1 more minute, drain with a colander pressing the tomatoes with the back of a spoon, and serve in a nice cup! Garnish with some fresh basil leaves and crackers.

TIPS:

• It is very important to add the salt at the end, otherwise it could turn salty when evaporated.

• If you wish you can peel the tomatoes before adding them to the pot.
