Zuppa di Pomodoro

So, the temperature in Chicago was -18 degrees today (OK, I factored in wind chill, but still!!!). You know the drill for temperatures like that. Soup is on the menu AGAIN!

This one was adapted from a Trader Joe's taste sample they have in the back of the store and I just had to share. Partly because of its simplicity, but mainly because of the taste! Enjoy!
