Garden Tomato Soup

Garden tomato season is coming up and I thought my garden tomato soup recipe would be perfect to share. We are attempting to grow a garden on our balcony and so far it’s doing much better than I ever thought it would be. I’m not a fan of plain tomato soup, so this tomato soup isn’t at all like a can of tomato soup you buy for $1 at the store. It has a lot of flavor and dimension to it that you’ll love. Make this grilled cheese to dip in it and you’ll have a delicious and filling meal! I hope some of your garden tomatoes get turned into this soup this summer.
