How to Make Homemade Creamy Tomato Soup!

In this post, we are going to share our "Garden fresh tomato soup recipe" with you. This recipe is really very simple and easy. We cook this soup alot during the year but August or September's soups are really different. Especially, these months' tomatoes make this soup tastiest. Also, many friends of us think that this soup is the perfect rainy-weather meal. Bye the way, there are many different recipes of tomato soup in Anatolia (Turkey). But main ingredients are tomatoes, all purpose flour, olive oil, butter, garlic, ground black pepper and red pepper flakes. We love to top this soup off with shredded pale yellow cheese / mozzarella cheese (we call it Kaşar peyniri) or shredded some poached chicken. We generally sprinkle the red pepper flakes on top of the soup and small pieces of crunchy bread goes well with this soup. It could also be served as a cold, or room temperature in summer times.

To make the tastiest creamy tomato soup you will ever experience wait until the tomatoes are at their most ripe and juicy time, around September month (or maybe you can find them at end of the August ). Our Çanakkale city's or Ayaş town's tomatoes are perfect for this soup.
