Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Slice tomatoes in half lengthwise; arrange them, cut side down, in a single layer on prepared baking sheet.

Tips:
- Choose fresh and flavorful ingredients: Use ripe and aromatic tomatoes for the relish. Fresh fennel and zucchini will add a crisp texture and bright flavor to the soup.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices: The recipe suggests thyme and basil, but you can also try oregano, rosemary, or marjoram. A pinch of cayenne pepper or paprika will add a touch of heat.
- Use a high-quality olive oil: The olive oil will add richness and depth of flavor to the soup and relish. Look for an extra-virgin olive oil that is made from freshly pressed olives.
- Simmer the soup gently: Don't boil the soup, as this will make the vegetables mushy. Instead, bring the soup to a simmer and then reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for at least 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
- Make the relish ahead of time: The relish can be made up to 3 days in advance. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.

This fennel and zucchini soup with warm tomato relish is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner.
