Tomato soup with cheese

40 minutes

Tomato soup with cheese is a delicate and aromatic dish of Turkish cuisine that combines the rich flavor of ripe tomatoes with the velvety texture of cheese. Inspired by traditional Anatolian soups, it warms the soul and nourishes the body. Tomatoes enriched with spices and Provençal herbs create a rich base, while the addition of rice gives it heartiness. The melted cheese adds special softness to the soup, dissolving evenly to form a creamy consistency. This dish is perfect for a cozy family dinner or as comfort food on cool days. It pairs wonderfully with crispy croutons or fresh herbs, enhancing the flavor notes. Tomato soup with cheese not only delights the palate but also brings a sense of home warmth infused with the aromas of traditional Turkish cuisine.
