Notes

  • If you like intense tomato flavor you must use tomato paste in the prep. The paste gives it a beautiful red color and adds great taste of tomatoes to the soup.
  • If you want the quick tomato soup with canned tomatoes you can skip the pre-cooking step and
  • Drizzle some olive oil on the soup before serving it.
