My five-year old daughter has loved tomatoes from the first time she ate one at the tender age of two. She loves them so much that she has earned the nickname “tomato bandit” among family members. When I brought home the Lillian’s Yellow Heirlooms that I used to make this soup, she really wanted to take a bite out of one of them. Her name happens to be Lily; like Lily’s Yellow Heirloom Tomato in a Glass, she is sweet and a little sassy. She loves this soup! Serve topped with cilantro coulis and a drizzle of cream if you like. I used martini glasses to serve this soup to friends last night; it is an easy, no- utensils-required way to present this flavorful soup - however, another kind of glass or little bowls would also work. You only need a little serving to appreciate the BIG tomato flavor of this soup. Note: In my experience, cilantro is a love-it or hate-it kind of herb; if it is not your thing, fresh basil in the coulis would also be delicious. - gingerroot
