Sopa de tomate

Description

Like in numerous other countries in the world, the creamy and nourishing tomato soup is also found in traditional Portuguese cuisine, where it is known as sopa de tomate. The soup consists of tomatoes, onions, and garlic. The ingredients are slowly sautéed in olive oil, braised in water, and occasionally puréed and thickened with flour. The Portuguese usually serve it with poached eggs, toasted croutons, or crusty buttered bread.
