This recipe was born from a surplus of tomatoes and leeks at my farm share last spring. This soup is simple, quick, and probably my favorite tomato soup to date. A whole bulb of garlic? Yes, that is not a typo! Skimping on the garlic or switching out coconut oil for any other would definitely detract from the commingling flavors in this soup. —kat gans
