Soups: 39. Tomato Soup

Boil some tomatoes and pass them through a sieve. Brown some butter with a dessert-spoonful of flour. Pour in some stock; then put in the tomatoes, with pepper and salt. When the whole has boiled up thoroughly, add a wineglassful of pale sherry and a small quantity of Nepaul pepper, pour the whole on to some crusts which you have fried in butter, and serve.
