If you're desperately missing tomatoes but are mindful of seasonality, this soup is the answer to your dilemma. The savory, umami flavor of tomato is here in full force, but this slurper doesn't require any fresh tomato produce. By adding toast points and shaved asiago cheese, you can turn this into a meal, and if you just can't live without meat, top it with crispy, fried pieces of prosciutto. You'll be pleasantly surprised by how satisfied you are when you read more.
