Heirloom Tomato Bruschetta Soup

Nothing welcomes the chill of autumn better than a bowl of hot soup. A nice bowl of hot soup is a full meal for me … and it feels so good especially when the fall colds start going around or when my allergies are acting up.

When I made bruschetta the other day, I ended up with quite a bit left (because I made extra), and it was sitting in the bowl and the tomatoes were so juicy, it was starting to look soupy so that made me think of … soup! Why not make bruschetta soup?

So I turned my bruschetta upside down and made some amazing soup in just a few minutes. This is an awesome cook-once,
eat-twice kinda meal. Next time you make bruschetta with your fresh garden tomatoes, make extra, then you can turn the leftovers into this comforting soup.
