Yellow Tomato Soup With Goat Cheese Croutons image

From TOH magazine. I love tomato soup, goat cheese, and pesto--so this soup sounds like a hit to me! This was a runner-up in the "Prize Tomatoes" recipe contest; the original submitter suggests grilling the tomatoes in summer instead of roasting them.
