Recipe of Tomato soup
Vida Recetas Editorial
Tomato soup is a comforting classic, perfect for cold days. This easy and healthy recipe, without meat, is ideal for those seeking a light yet flavorful option. Tomatoes, rich in antioxidants like lycopene, are combined with carrot, onion, and garlic to create a nutritious base. Herbs like thyme and rosemary add a Mediterranean aroma, while sweet paprika gives a smoky touch. The result is a creamy and balanced soup, perfect as a starter or main dish served with crusty bread.
Origin and versatility
Originally from Spain, tomato soup has won over palates worldwide. Every culture has its version: Italian with basil, French with cream, or American with grilled cheese. This recipe is an excellent base to customize; you can add a touch of chili for heat, or a splash of cream for more richness.
A healthy option
Being meatless, it is suitable for vegetarians and vegans (if vegetable oil is used). It is low in calories but high in fiber and vitamins, ideal for keeping the immune system strong in winter. Plus, it's a delicious way to consume vegetables.
