Recipe View 2 mins Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. You may want to add a pinch of salt or a dash of your favorite herbs.

For a richer flavor, consider using roasted tomatoes. Roasting brings out their sweetness and adds depth to the soup.
A bay leaf added during simmering can enhance the overall aroma.
Leftovers taste even better the next day, as the flavors have more time to develop. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Serve with a crusty bread for dipping.
