Tomato And Paprika Soup

---

I made this recipe with ingredients i had in the kitchen today. I was given the last of the tomatos from one of my friends gardens, i had a few potatos, some celery and so i set out to make soup. Wasn't sure what the end result would be, but apparently it is a hit with my family, bless them, i love their encouragement.
