Zupa pomidorowa (Polish tomato soup)

Tomato soup was a staple in my house growing up; I think everybody had that experience. The only difference is that Polish tomato soup isn't served with grilled cheese sandwiches. A shame, really. 

Ingredients:

• beef soup bone (ask a butcher at your grocery store)
• water (at least a gallon?)
• 2 carrots
• 1 parsnip
• 1 can tomato paste
• 1 tsp Vegeta seasoning
• 1 tsp parsley flakes (optional)
• 1 box of pasta of your choice, boiled according to instructions

You will need a large pot.

Boil the bone and Vegeta in a large pot filled 3/4 with water for roughly 30 minutes; the meat on the bone needs to be cooked through. Add veggies and boil until tender. Take out the bone and veggies, add half a can of tomato paste and stir until blended completely. Keep adding more until the soup is fragrant and flavorful.

Serve it in a bowl with pasta and thin out the soup with a little of sour cream. 

Enjoy!
