Food for your Belly

You know that time of year when all the bugs start coming out, the air gets a little bit cooler, and your garden begins to overflow with an unusual amounts of zucchini and tomatoes that you had no idea could come from a small plant? yes that time of year is NOW. As for our garden...let's just say it's a little wimpy haha. It only has like 6 types of tomatoes, some green peppers, and a few pumpkins. (That was all that survived). so with all of these tomatoes I have this recipe, it is divine, delectable, and delicious!!! By far my most favorite soup. I figure I'll be nice and share this recipe with you to help you use any of those excess tomatoes. Also, Bonnie asked for it :)
