I have been meaning to try and create a yummy homemade tomato soup for quite some time now. Its one of my daughters favorite soups and she has been begging....
I poured over tons of recipes and couldn't find one to suit my fancy..so I created this one hoping it would turn out good and it did! I am a garlic fan (or fanatic if you will), so I was naturally drawn to the most garlicky of recipes. Don't be afraid of the amount of garlic the recipe calls for, it really added to the taste and wasn't overwhelming at all.
Oh, and please forgive my picture. I meant to take a more "finished" one, but my soup got gobbled up so fast that I didn't have time :)
