Mexican Spiced Tomato Soup
(1)
1 hour 20 minutes
This recipe has been made in my family for years, I've even started passing it on to friends as they enjoy it a lot! For a treat, add a dollop of sour cream to finish if you're not vegan (although vegan sour creams are available in some health stores).
