Baked tomato soup
Description
A hearty and aromatic soup. Although the entire process will take you about two hours, the active cooking time is minimal. This is an amazingly fragrant and spicy soup based on pre-roasted tomatoes. Its texture and flavor are capable of surprising even the most sophisticated food connoisseurs. In addition to cheese, you can serve the dish with pieces of bread or croutons. By the way, you can bake the soup not only in mugs but also in heatproof bowls or small casseroles. Serve with fresh herbs and sour cream.
