A good friend of mine gave me this recipe. I find the taste very close the one my mom used to make when I was a kid.
If the soup is too thick, you can add some water. I have never really measured the quantity of salt but do not be surprised if you need to add something like 30 ml. Go easy at first it is always easier to add than remove some!
This is a great soup for a lunch on Saturday with a slice of baguette.
