Tomato Soup

To me, tomato is the epitome of summer. Bright, fresh and succulent, produce like this are a handful of things I look forward to in a dessert summer.I’m happy when I’m snuggling with my hubby in a couch slurping a hot cuppa soup.Almost all our repertoires have a recipe for tomato soup.
