HEARTY TOMATO SOUP WITH LEMON AND ROSEMARY
I saw this prepared on Food Network today and thought I'd post it to try later. Looks yummy for a cold winter evening! (If you can't find creme fraiche locally, mix 1/3 cup of heavy cream with 1/3 cup of sour creme and allow it to come to room temperature) ***I froze the tomato soup, and when I pulled it out of the freezer, I didn't have have the ingredients to make the cream sauce. Instead I chopped some rosemary, zested some lemon, crumbled some bacon, and drizzled a few tablespoons of heavy cream into each bowl. Just as scrumptious!

Tips:
- Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes. This will give your soup the best flavor. If you can, use fresh tomatoes from the garden or farmers market. Otherwise, look for canned tomatoes that are packed in tomato juice, not water.
- Roast the tomatoes before adding them to the soup. Roasting the tomatoes intensifies their flavor and gives them a slightly smoky taste. To roast the tomatoes, simply toss them with a little olive oil and salt, and then roast them in a preheated oven at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for about 30 minutes, or until they are softened and slightly browned.
- Use a good quality broth. The broth is the base of your soup, so it's important to use a good one. Look for a broth that is made with real ingredients and has a rich flavor. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or beef broth, depending on your preference.
- Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat.
- Garnish the soup with fresh herbs. Fresh herbs add a pop of color and flavor to your soup. Some good options include basil, oregano, and thyme.
Conclusion:
This hearty tomato soup is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. The roasted tomatoes give the soup a rich and smoky flavor, and the lemon and rosemary add a bright and refreshing touch. Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers for a complete meal.
