OUTSTANDING!!! This soup enhances the pure flavor of tomatoes and not a lot of other ingredients competing for that garden fresh flavor. I used a specialty (read expensive!) olive oil for drizzling on top with fresh chives as garnish, as I had no basil, but I know it would be delicious with basil, too. Thanks Kimke

I live in Omaha NE and am an audiologist at Boys Town National Research Hospital. I love to cook, as does my husband Michael. In the summer, we have a large garden and try to use alot of fresh fruits/veggies in our cooking. We have a 5 year old daughter, Kate and almost 2 year old son Sam and enjoy introducing them to new foods. One of their favorites is fresh pesto smeared on crackers!
