Tips for the Best Tomato Feta Soup:
- Use good quality tomatoes: The flavor of the tomatoes really shines through, so opt for ripe, flavorful plum tomatoes.
- Don’t skimp on the feta: Use a block of feta cheese and crumble or cube it yourself for the best flavor and texture. Pre-crumbled feta often contains cellulose and doesn’t melt as well.
- Adjust the spice: Feel free to add more or less red pepper flakes depending on your preference.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: A sprinkle of fresh parsley or dill adds a burst of freshness.
