Notes

Choose ripe, fresh tomatoes for the best flavor and sweetness. If using canned tomatoes, opt for those packaged in juice rather than water to enhance the soup's richness. Allow the soup to simmer for at least 20 minutes to let the flavors meld together effectively. For an extra creamy texture, blend the soup thoroughly before serving. Consider garnishing with fresh basil or a drizzle of olive oil for added flair.
