The flavors of fresh tomatoes and basil are a soup marriage made in heaven. In the winter Roma tomatoes work especially well in this recipe. In the summer it's much easier to find a variety of fresh tomatoes brimming with flavor -- like heirloon Brandywine tomatoes which are so meaty and juicy in soups!

I like this soup best the day after I make because the flavors of vegetables and herbs deepen and mellow when soups are made a day before serving. This delicious, creamy soup is thickened with amaranth and dairy free substitutes are noted in the recipe- if you avoid both gluten and dairy like I do.
