Notes

For a richer flavor, consider roasting the tomatoes before adding them to the soup. You can also add a splash of balsamic vinegar for a hint of sweetness. For a vegetarian version, use vegetable broth and ensure your Parmesan is suitable for vegetarians. Adjust the level of red pepper flakes based on your heat preference.
