My friend gave me tomatoes from their garden, so I decided to attempt my first ever tomato soup. Of course you can't have soup without some crunchy bread, so I picked up some ciabatta rolls from the market.

My first attempt was a success, so here's another great recipe to rotate in for soup season: Tomato Soup with Cheezy Bread.

 

This recipe is simple and quick to make with the longest part being the tomatoes cooking in the oven. They bake for 20 minutes, but while it is baking you season the bread and add it to the oven to bake simultaneously. Once the tomatoes are done, the remaining soup ingredients go into a blender until smooth. I usually add at least 1 tbsp of flour to create a thicker soup, but you can go without flour or add up to 2 tbsps.
