It’s September and soup season is starting – yeah!  One of my favourites is my Roasted Tomato Soup recipe.

So hit the farmers markets to take advantage of the  “end of season” tomatoes and make a big pot of this delicious and nutritious soup for the weekend.  The flavour of this soup is very rich because I roast the tomatoes prior to making the soup.  If you want to serve this soup for dinner then  add my  Tomato, bocconcini, avocado bruschetta to complete your meal.

Enjoy!

This soup is so flavourful because I roast the tomatoes to give extra richness.
