Ingredients:

Tomatoes (1 kg): Fresh, ripe tomatoes are the star of this soup. They provide a rich, tangy flavor and vibrant color.
Carrots (2): Carrots add natural sweetness and depth to the soup.
Parsnips (1): Parsnips contribute a subtle earthiness and enhance the overall flavor.
Peppers (2): Bell peppers add a touch of sweetness and a hint of smokiness.
Onion (1): Onion provides a savory base for the soup.
Butter (50 g): Butter adds richness and a velvety texture.
Water (2 liters): The liquid base for the soup.
Parsley: Fresh parsley adds freshness and a mild herbal note.
Rice (2 tbsp): Rice thickens the soup and gives it body.
Salt: To season the soup to taste.

Preparation:

Clean and Wash the Vegetables:
Peel and dice the carrots and parsnips.
Chop the bell peppers.
Peel and finely chop the onion.
Rinse the tomatoes thoroughly and quarter them.
Cook the Vegetables:
In a large saucepan, combine the diced carrots, parsnips, bell peppers, and chopped onion.
Add 2 liters of water and a pinch of salt.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer until the vegetables are tender.
Add the Tomatoes:
Once the vegetables are cooked, add the quartered tomatoes to the saucepan.
Simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes until the tomatoes break down and release their juices.
Strain the Parsnips:
Remove the cooked parsnips from the soup and set them aside.
Cook the Rice:
Rinse the rice under cold water.
Add the washed rice to the soup and continue simmering until the rice is tender.
Deglaze with Egg:
Crack an egg into a separate bowl and whisk it.
Gradually add a ladleful of hot soup to the whisked egg, stirring constantly.
Slowly pour the egg mixture back into the soup, stirring gently. This will create a silky texture.
Finish the Soup:
Add the cooked parsnips back to the soup.
Stir in the butter until melted.
Season with additional salt if needed.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Serve and Enjoy!
Ladle the tomato soup into bowls and serve it hot.
