    Tomato soup is popular all over the world and there are, of course, many variations of this simple soup. This is my mom's Sopa de Tomate recipe. I hated it as a kid, but now I can't get enough of it!

    This soup was something that I threw together for lunch the other day while trying to use some basil that was going bad. Creamy, smooth and delicious, it is the perfect soup. I garnished mine with cream, pesto and served it with an arepa topped with melted cheese.

    Buen Provecho!

      Mmm, this sounds so comforting and I like the arepa with cheese instead of a grilled cheese sandwich!
