If you grow a garden and harvested an abundance of tomatoes, you simply must give this incredible tomato soup a try. You can also use fresh, ripe tomatoes from the farmers' market. It's by far the most delicious tomato soup I've ever tasted, and the best part is, it's easy to prepare. Begin with ripe, fresh tomatoes, add some onion, whole bulbs of garlic, a couple of sweet peppers, and a handful of fragrant herbs. Drizzle with olive oil and roast everything together in the oven, and then, with the help of an immersion blender, transform it into a velvety delight. The simplicity of it all makes it the ultimate comfort food. Serve with a grilled cheese sandwich to really elevate your meal.
