Tomato Cilantro Soup image

Found this in the paper today and wanted to post it for Zaar World Tour 2006. It sounded absolutely fantastic and I finally tried it myself. Was I right! Homemade tomato soup with 10x the taste! I served with crusty ciabatta bread for dipping. I added vegetable stock instead of regular water because a good stock is always the basis for the best soups. Lighten up on salt (if you use stock) and the cumin if you want. I only added 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon salt, and no cayenne. I used 1 large bunch of cilantro. Did not taste overly of cilantro once I took the bunch out. Adapted from "Mediterranean Light" by Martha Rose Shulman. I classified this as either a Greek or Italian recipe:D

This soup was good, but it wasn't as flavorful as I was hoping. I think I would add more spices next time.

This was such a delicious and refreshing soup! The flavors of the tomato and cilantro were perfectly balanced, and the soup had a wonderful creamy texture. I served it with a side of grilled cheese sandwiches and it was the perfect meal for a chilly
