"Beware the hobby that eats." -Benjamin Franklin
This soup just tastes like a crisp, cold day. The great tart tomato flavor blends so well with basil, oregano and garlic. With some sweetness of the maple syrup and just a bit of savory taste of the parmesan it is an almost perfect soup. Serve with a big chopped salad for a perfect meal.
