> Fresh Tomatoes (well, canned if it's winter and you can't get any)
> 	(how many you got?  Just don't overflow the pot)
> Olive oil &/| butter (enough for the onions, about 2 tsp per onion)
> Onions (about one per three or four tomatoes)
> Dill, salt, pepper (to taste)
> 
> Scald the tomatoes in boiling water for about one minute each, in
> groups of three or four, and set on a plate to cool (so you can 
> recover the juice that comes out).  Peel off the skins and cut out
> the stem part if you're picky.  In the meanwhile, heat the oil in
> the soup pot and add the chopped onion.  Cook over medium heat,
> stirring occaisionally, until translucent (or browned if you like).
> Quarter the tomatoes and add to the onions.  Increase heat and cover
> until boiling.  Reduce heat and simmer for ten minutes.  Add dill,
> salt & pepper to taste and cook uncovered for another 5 minutes.
> Taste often to make sure it's ok.  Serve with crusty garlic bread.
> If you have good avacados around, especially if they are large and
> have large pits, a wonderful treat is to halve the avacados, remove
> the pit and serve the soup in the avacado halves.  As you eat, scoop
> out little pieces of the avacado!  Wow!  It usually takes a couple
> of servings to get all the avacado (some melts into the soup making
> a sort of cream soup towards the bottom).  Looks pretty, too.
> Enjoy,
