Useful tips for (Fancy) Tomato Soup

A little onion goes a long way, remember that raw onions are much more flavorful than cooked ones.

Use fresh herbs whenever possible, but if you don’t have ’em substitute dried.

This is tomato soup. Meaning it’s best served with a toasty piece of bread. That texture makes all the difference!

And the garnish. Your food tastes only as good as it looks.

Clarification: We used half of this jar (less the oil). Was about 2.5 oz of dry weight.
