Tomato puree soup is a gem of Turkish cuisine infused with Mediterranean aromas. Its history roots in traditions of simple yet rich flavors, where tomatoes play the lead role. The soup's delicate texture is achieved by carefully pureeing the tomatoes, while cream adds smoothness and lightness. Basil imparts fresh herbal notes, complementing the sweetness of carrots and the mild sharpness of garlic. This soup not only warms but is also perfect for a light lunch or cozy dinner. Served hot, garnished with basil leaves and crispy crackers that enhance its rich flavor. A wonderful choice for lovers of aromatic and harmonious cuisine.
