Does anyone have a good recipe for tomato soup using garden tomatoes? What I have is mainly cherry tomatoes.

Thanks!

I don't have an exact recipe but I roast my tomatos first before making it into soup, gives it a better flavor. I roast them with olive oil, salt, pepper, and balsamic vinegar. Puree it a bit, I like some chunks in my soup and then add chicken broth. add some salt and some half & half according to taste.
