This Domatosoupa is a bright, acidic tomato soup that captures the essence of Greek home cooking. It relies on fresh tomatoes and rehydrated sun-dried tomatoes for a deep, concentrated flavor profile. The addition of orange zest and fresh mint provides a unique aromatic lift, while a swirl of yogurt or sour cream at the end adds a luxurious, cooling creaminess. It is light yet satisfying, making it an excellent starter or a light lunch. Perfect for spring evenings or as a refreshing accompaniment to grilled meats, this soup is simple to prepare but delivers complex, layered flavors that invite you to come back for seconds.
