Plunge fresh tomatoes into boiling water for a few seconds and remove skins. Chop pulp coarsely if using fresh tomatoes.

The recipe doesn’t tell you to cover the pot before the simmer, but I did and it came out fine. Easy recipe. I used fresh Roma tomatoes and will try canned out of tomato season.
