UNCLE BILL'S TOMATO SOUP WITH FETA CHEESE

Uncle Bill's Tomato Soup With Feta Cheese image

This is a very simple soup to make. It has a nice rich color and a lively flavor. Serve it with grilled pita bread cut into wedges for dipping. Grilled garlic bread is another great dipper, or Italian bread brushed with extra virgin olive oil and lightly grilled is also a good dipper.
