Recipe Notes

This recipe is not suitable to freeze.
Recipe Origin Notes:  This recipe is from my mother's recipe folder.  It was originally called Sultan's Cream of Tomato Soup and is based on a recipe she picked up from the Jakarta Hilton during her travels.  I date it back to the mid 80's as there is a telex number on the original recipe.
Gin:  The original recipe called for 1oz of gin, which roughly equals 30mls.  I admit I am a little heavy-handed and probably add around 60mls (2 Tbs), or as I would say "a good glug of gin".

    Hello, Sara.

    I definitely want to make this soup this Summer in the Northern Hemisphere!

    Question: How much gin do I add? I’ve looked at the ingredient list 3 times (so far) but I don’t see it? I can do the math/maths if you add the Australian measurement.

    Thanks so very much for replying,

    Laura

      Hi Laura
      Thank you for your comment and for bringing my attention to the gin amount being absent from the reccipe. I'm so sorry, and it's been added to the recipe.
      The amount of the original recipe is 1oz or 30ml/4 tps. I tend to be a little heavy-handed and add double that.
      Hope you enjoy 🙂
      Cheers, Sara

      Hey Gregory
      Thanks for the welcome back. I too love a good canned soup hack. Gin does make everything better 😉
      Cheers, Sara
