Any variety of tomatoes will do, but for the finest (and sweetest) flavour, use the ripest, reddest ones you can find. A good base ensures every soup starts well.   Since  I'll be making this soup with squid and shrimps. Thus, the shrimps stock made from the leftover heads of prawns is even more delicious!    The shrimpy taste is excellent. That will be added to the broth along with a ton of taste and shrimpiness. You are going to sauteing the shrimp head until all the residual water evaporates and then you
