Pomodoro summer soup by Giovanna Eusebi of Eusebi Deli in Glasgow
“If you know me, you will know my love of tomatoes! Now is the perfect time for this summer soup as tomatoes are in season and have the fullest flavour. It’s a great way to use up any tomatoes that are too overripe as this only adds to the flavour of the dish. This simple recipe is like summer in a bowl and quick enough to whip up on a weeknight when you fancy something special and a real burst of flavour.” – Giovanna Eusebi.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.

We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.

We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
