Tomato puree soup with feta cheese

Cookinero 15 Apr 2025

Feta is a cheese made from sheep's or goat's milk, known in Greece since Homeric times. Translated from Greek, "feta" means "to break." And indeed, the semi-hard cheese is made in one large piece, weighing up to 1.5 kg. Therefore, it is broken to distribute the portions. Young cheeses, such as feta, are usually combined with fresh herbs and tomatoes, so this is an excellent argument in favor of this recipe!
