Summary

This simple soup is a perfect companion to a grilled cheese sandwich or a fresh salad. But that's not all you can do with it! Serve it on top of pasta as a homemade, no-sugar-added marinara sauce (add some garlic and crushed red pepper for extra kick) or serve it chilled for a refreshing summer side dish.
