Cut the onion (1 piece) into large pieces. Prepare the tomatoes (300 g): peel and chop them.

Pour in water (800 ml). Add a bay leaf (1 piece), parsley (a few sprigs), onion, and salt (to taste). Pour in white wine (100 ml). Simmer gently for 30 minutes.

Strain the broth through a sieve. Squeeze the shells and vegetables well. Return the liquid to the pot.

Add the tomatoes. Cook for 10–15 minutes to reduce the soup slightly.
