I find tomato soup really weird and I’ve never liked it. So when I saw there’s a Turkish version, I had to try it. The last time I made a Turkish soup, I really enjoyed it. This is called tomates chbasa. I’m not sure if I made it the authentic way because I found two recipes online. One version roasts the vegetables and the other version uses a can of chopped tomatoes. I wanted to add a whole head of garlic, but it broke as soon as I opened it. Soup uses really simple ingredients and is easy to make, so I think this will be perfect for Ramadan as well. I used olive oil, salt, pepper, and mixed herbs to season the vegetables. And I put them in the oven for an hour and 15 minutes. I melted some butter, mixed in some flour to make a r, and then added some tomato puree. This was the most interesting part because usually I make a r whenever I’m making a bashimal, not a soup. My garlic didn’t squeeze out nicely like everyone else’s does, but it still smelt amazing. I added some hot water and then blended the soup really well. I didn’t remove any of the skins. It needed some salt and then I let it simmer on a really low flame by the time I made some cheesy bread to go with it. I don’t know about you, but soup on its own is not that fitting. I had some baguettes that I cut in half and then I added some cheese. These took about 5 minutes in the oven and then it was ready to enjoy. It was super creamy and delicious. I be try it.
