  • Roast the tomatoes before adding them to the soup: Roasting the tomatoes concentrates their flavor and gives them a slightly smoky taste. This step is optional, but it's worth the extra effort.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in Greek cuisine. Use a good quality extra virgin olive oil for the best flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to add some heat: Greek tomato soup is traditionally made with a bit of heat. You can add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a chopped jalapeño to taste.
  • Serve the soup with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings for Greek tomato soup include feta cheese, crumbled oregano, and a drizzle of olive oil.
