Tomato Soup

Kid friendly soup. Reduction thickens slightly and concentrates flavors.

Soup is more of a template than an exact science. Sometime I double the base vegetables. Sometimes I double the tomatoes. I use more or less garlic. To really build flavor reduce to thick paste then thin with vegetable broth saved in the freezer.
