Author Notes
This recipe is the perfect celebration of soup season and my beautiful backyard garden tomatoes! Thickened with rice, this soup is gluten free but definitely FULL OF DAIRY. Make sure you are stirring regularly while the rice is cooking to prevent it from sticking. I threw a few cayenne peppers in there for some heat that was balanced out by all the cream and cheese. Any fresh herb will work on top, but the celery and tomato leaves from our garden really did it for me!
I made a big batch of this soup to freeze for later so I will share the big batch recipe and you can adjust as needed! —Lorenzo Tavani
