Tips:
- Use ripe, juicy tomatoes for the best flavor. If fresh tomatoes are not available, you can use canned diced tomatoes, but be sure to drain off the excess liquid.
- Roast the tomatoes before adding them to the soup. This will deepen their flavor and make them more concentrated.
- Don't overcrowd the pot when roasting the tomatoes. If you do, they will steam instead of roast.
- Use a good quality vegetable broth. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the soup.
- Add a touch of cream or half-and-half to the soup just before serving. This will make it creamy and delicious.
- Serve the soup with a garnish of fresh basil or parsley.
