I created this tomato bread soup recipe as a way to use the homegrown heirloom tomatoes we had canned. Sadly we are all out of homemade canned tomatoes. We haven’t planted a vegetable garden in our new home yet but we plan on making one next year:). I can’t wait! Sunday was the perfect fall day for soup. I love soup in the fall! This recipe can easily double as a vegetarian one with substituting the chicken stock/ broth for a vegetable broth. I have often made this for our vegetarian friends and family. Serves 8.
