Tomato Love Sips (valentine's day special)

 

Tomato love sips, whether it is the love for tomatoes or the time you spend with your loved one, sipping it! I don't know why this name hit me first and I like it! This is not actually a soup (or may be), it's neither thick nor creamy, it is something you can enjoy the way you enjoy coffee or tea, sip by sip! The recipe is so damn easy and takes very little time (remember less time in the kitchen and more time for togetherness), perfect for valentine!! I have also added cherry tomatoes as they have a very unique sweetness, but you can skip them if not available! So make it and enjoy it with you loved one on a cold romantic evening! Hope you like it!!!

4 cherry tomatoes (optional)
