Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, ripe tomatoes, fragrant basil, and flavorful Parmesan cheese will make a world of difference in the final soup.
  • Don't skimp on the olive oil. It helps to bring out the flavors of the vegetables and gives the soup a rich, velvety texture.
  • Roast the tomatoes before adding them to the soup. This intensifies their flavor and sweetness.
  • Use a variety of fresh herbs. Basil is a classic, but you can also add oregano, thyme, or rosemary for a more complex flavor.
  • Don't overcook the soup. The tomatoes should be softened but still hold their shape.
  • Serve the soup with a dollop of pesto or a sprinkling of grated Parmesan cheese. This adds extra flavor and richness.
