TOMATO FLORENTINE SOUP WITH PASTA
I had a yen for tomato Florentine soup last night, so made this with what I had on hand. I used a 14-oz package frozen leaf spinach and shell pasta but will probably use a 10-oz package frozen chopped spinach and ditalini next time. Was quite tasty served with hot, buttered French bread on the side.

- Roast the tomatoes before adding them to the soup: This will caramelize the sugars in the tomatoes and give them a deeper, richer flavor.
- Add a variety of herbs and spices to the soup: This will give it a complex and flavorful taste. Some good options include basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, garlic, and red pepper flakes.
- Use a good quality olive oil: This will add a rich, fruity flavor to the soup.
- Don't overcook the soup: The tomatoes should be tender but still hold their shape.
- Serve the soup with a garnish of fresh basil or Parmesan cheese: This will add a finishing touch of flavor and elegance.
