Method:

1. Peel the tomatoes and cut into small pieces. Put the chopped tomatoes in a stainless steel sieve.

2. Press the tomatoes to extract all the liquid, catching the juice in a bowl.

3. Put the tomato juice in a small saucepan and simmer over a low heat without a lid until it begins to thicken a little.

Note: This is a stock (broth) prepared from cooked home-pressed tomato juice. It is an ideal base for all kinds of soups and can be used instead of vegetable, meat or fish stock (broth). The stock (broth) has not been seasoned, so this should be adjusted appropriately when preparing the dish in which it is used.
