Tips:
- Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes. This will give your soup the best flavor. You can use any type of tomato you like, but Roma tomatoes are a good choice because they have a lot of flesh and fewer seeds.
- Roast the tomatoes before adding them to the soup. This will caramelize the sugars in the tomatoes and intensify their flavor.
- Use a good-quality orange juice. Freshly squeezed orange juice is best, but you can also use a high-quality store-bought orange juice.
- Add a little bit of heat to the soup. A pinch of cayenne pepper or a few drops of Tabasco sauce can give the soup a nice kick.
- Serve the soup with a dollop of yogurt or sour cream. This will add a creamy richness to the soup.
