For a reason that does not belong nor to the current time neither to the future, so it’s obvious that it belongs to the past, every time I prepare a tomato soup I remember of Almodóvar’s “Women on the verge of a nervous breakdown” movie. In this velouté version, there is a delicious special taste thanks to the carrots, the smoked paprika and the thyme.
