How Do You Make An Austrian/Polish Tomato Soup Recipe?
During pre-world war II Poland, my great-grandmother, my grandmother and my young mother, owned and ran a small butcher shop. It slowly emerged as small café-type restaurant just around the corner from the Gestapo headquarters that frequented the café. My great-grandmother and grandmother was Austrian (as I), but my mom was Polish born. Luckily, the takeover of Poland did not affect them since they were Austrian citizens. They later left the country without much trouble. I’d like to share a few recipes from my grandmother that was passed down to me and I would like to share them with you. For this segment it is her Tomato Soup recipe.
