Tomato soup with meatballs and vermicelli
4 servings
30 minutes
This aromatic tomato soup with meatballs and vermicelli is a true embodiment of home comfort with a Spanish character. It is believed that recipes for such soups originated in Mediterranean cuisine, where tomatoes, herbs, and spices intertwine to create a rich flavor. First, a fragrant broth is simmered with bay leaves, thyme, and pepper; then tender meatballs, tomato paste, and juicy tomatoes are added. Vermicelli makes the soup hearty while white wine adds refined notes. The final touch is cream and fresh parsley that give the dish smoothness and freshness. The soup is served with a crispy baguette that perfectly complements its texture. This dish warms you up and provides delicious enjoyment, making it ideal for family dinners or cozy evenings.
