For an even richer flavor, roast the tomatoes in the oven with garlic and herbs before adding them to the soup. If you don't have an immersion blender, you can use a regular blender. Be sure to let the soup cool slightly before blending to avoid splattering. A splash of balsamic vinegar at the end can add a delightful tang. Consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for a subtle kick.
