A year or so ago I saw an episode of Tyler's Ultimate on the Food Network where Tyler Florence made homemade tomato soup- from roasting the tomatoes to blending them at the end. It looked fantastic! The problem? Tomatoes are inexpensive, abundant, and much more flavorful in the Summer, but soup is a Winter dish. As my Dad would say, "we have a big problem." Well, we have had an odd Summer, to say the least. It was very warm a week ago, warm enough for my tomatoes to finally ripen, and cool for a couple of days, cool enough to have soup for dinner. Problem solved! Last night I made the soup and Ryan made grilled cheese sandwiches to go with it and we couldn't be happier with the results. I used Tyler's recipe as the base, but made some healthy adjustments. Enjoy!
