Tomato soup with herbs

Tomato and herb soup is a comforting and very popular dish in various cuisines around the world. Its origin dates back to traditional European recipes, especially from Mediterranean cuisine, where tomatoes and fresh herbs are combined to create intense and fresh flavors. In Latin America, this soup has different names and variants depending on the country. For example, in Mexico and Central America, it is usually known simply as "tomato soup," while in Caribbean countries it may include additional ingredients like spices or coconut milk. In Argentina and Chile, it is common to find versions with a touch of cream or cheese. Regardless of its name, this soup is appreciated for its simplicity, nutrition, and versatility, in addition to being ideal for any time of the year.

This dish is not only an excellent option for a light meal, but it is also highly valued for its contribution of vitamins and antioxidants from fresh tomatoes or tomato sauces. Herbs like basil and thyme enhance its aroma and flavor, making this soup a classic that transcends borders.
