"This is a great way to use up those extra tomatoes you have in the garden. Depending on the types of tomatoes you use and how thick you like your soup, you may need to adjust the time on the last saute step. The longer you cook on the sauté setting, the thicker this will be. Only use vine ripened fresh tomatoes, the store bought “winter” tomatoes are very bland and will not work in this recipe. To amp the flavor up a bit I add shredded mozzarella or shaved Parmesan to each bowl just before serving it. I also on occasion add buttered garlic croutons…."
