Cream of Tomato Soup

With cherry tomatoes prolific during the summer season, it's simple to whip up homemade tomato soup rather than reach for the can opener. Deeply roasted tomatoes encourage the homemade variety; it's hard to resist fresh, bursting flavors of tomato juice and fresh cream. This recipe yields a soup perfect for dipping a grilled cheese or dipping freshly baked bread.
