Contest-Winning Roasted Tomato Soup image

Just before the first frost of the season, we gather up all of the tomatoes from my mom's garden to create this flavor-packed soup. Although it sounds like a lot of garlic, when it's roasted, the garlic becomes mellow and almost sweet. We serve this soup with toasted bread spread with pesto.-Kaitlyn Lerdahl, Madison, Wisconsin
