  • Roast the tomatoes before blending: Roasting the tomatoes concentrates their flavor and gives the soup a smoky depth of flavor.

  • Add a touch of cream or milk: A little bit of cream or milk will help to thicken the soup and give it a creamy texture. You can also use coconut milk for a dairy-free option.
