This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.

Fresh tomatoes make all the difference in this Indian-style soup. The spices give it a rich flavor and a drizzle of cream brings it all together.
8 tomatoes
3 1/2 cups water
1/2 tablespoon butter
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste
salt, to taste
2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
Combine the tomatoes and water in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat to a simmer. Let the tomatoes cook until tender, about 15 minutes.
Put the tomatoes and water into a blender and puree until smooth. Strain the puree through a sieve or cheesecloth-lined strainer to remove the seeds and skin.
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the black pepper, chili powder, cumin, ginger-garlic paste, and salt as desired. Stir well and cook the spices over the heat for 2 minutes or until fragrant.
Add the tomato puree and bring to a boil. Let cook on medium heat for 5-7 minutes.
Portion the soup into individual serving bowls. Garnish with a drizzle of cream when serving. Serve hot.
