tomato broth

Savory red base

Tomato broth is a light, savory liquid made by simmering tomatoes with aromatics, used as a base for soups, stews, or sauces.

Unlike tomato sauce or paste, broth emphasizes clarity and subtle flavor over thickness: The mussels were steamed in a fragrant tomato broth.

It bridges the gap between vegetable stock and tomato soup.
