Author Notes
The sweet/tart flavors of red ripe tomatoes and apricots are deepened a bit by the addition of fennel and a sweet onion. The soup takes on a beautiful hue which stands out against the fennel fronds and a dollop of sour cream.
I timed it: 8 minutes start to finish, including washing the vegetables. —boulangere
