TOMATO RICE SOUP
This is an elegant version of the old-fashioned tomato and rice soup, studded with fresh seafood. If you want a simpler dish, omit the seafood. If you are lucky enough to have a garden full of fresh tomatoes, you can substitute them for the canned variety. Use about 1 and 1/2 pounds ripe tomatoes, cored and chopped.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to broil. In a small saucepan, combine the rice and water. Bring to a boil, then cover, reduce to simmer and cook for 20 minutes. When the rice is done, remove it from the heat and let stand for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, drain the can of diced tomatoes by pouring them into a mesh strainer set over a medium bowl. Use a silicone spatula to press the tomatoes to extract as much juice as possible. Set the juice aside. Transfer the diced tomatoes to a rimmed baking sheet. Add the onion, garlic, basil and olive oil. Strip the leaves from the rosemary sprigs and add them to the tomatoes and onions. Toss everything to coat well. Season with salt and pepper. Broil the tomato mixture on the center rack for 4 minutes, then gently stir. Broil for another 4 minutes, or until the onions and tomatoes begin to brown. Transfer the mixture to a blender, then add the reserved tomato juice. Puree until smooth. When the rice is ready, add the tomato mixture from the blender and set over medium heat. Add the tomato sauce, chicken broth and balsamic vinegar. Heat until warmed through, then stir in the half-and-half.

Tips:
- Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the flavor of your soup. Choose ripe, juicy tomatoes that are bursting with flavor. If you can't find fresh tomatoes, you can use canned tomatoes. Just be sure to choose a brand that uses high-quality tomatoes and doesn't add any unnecessary ingredients.
- Don't be afraid to use a variety of tomatoes: You can use a combination of different types of tomatoes to create a more complex flavor. For example, you could use a mix of Roma tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, and heirloom tomatoes.
- Roast your tomatoes before adding them to the soup: Roasting your tomatoes will intensify their flavor and give them a slightly smoky taste. To roast your tomatoes, simply toss them with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper and roast them in a preheated oven at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-30 minutes, or until they are slightly charred and softened.
- Use a good quality broth: The broth you use will also have a big impact on the flavor of your soup. Choose a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich, flavorful taste. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even beef broth.
- Add some herbs and spices: Herbs and spices can help to enhance the flavor of your soup. Some good options include basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, garlic, and onion.
- Don't overcook the soup: Overcooking the soup will make it bland and mushy. Simmer the soup over low heat for just until the vegetables are tender.
