40 minutes · 6 servings · Easy

This is a tomato and onion soup organised around the butter and dried mint finish that most Turkish soup makers insist on. Sweat the onions properly rather than boiling them, and add the butter last, off the heat, so it does not turn greasy. The dried mint is scattered over the bowl.
