  3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot.
  4. Add the garlic and green onions.
  5. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  7. Cook for 5–7 minutes until they soften and release their juices.
  8. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for another minute.
  9. Pour in the water (or chicken broth).
  10. Bring to a gentle boil.
  11. Season with black pepper.

Notes

  • Fresh tomatoes provide the best taste.
  • Add chili oil if you enjoy spicy soups.
  • The maple syrup shouldn't make the soup sweet—it simply balances the tomatoes.
