Tomato and mixed vegetable soup
A lighter tomato soup than a minestrone: a blend of pureed tomatoes, blackberries, leek, celery, carrot, and cauliflower, flavored with fresh herbs.
This soup is similar to minestrone, but it’s lighter, without white beans or macaroni. Fresh herbs give it its distinctive flavor.
