Silky Tomato-Basil Soup with Fresh Corn

"

A warm bowl of soup is often unappreciated in the summer heat, but we tap into some of the season’s best produce, from juicy tomatoes to sweet corn, to create a luxurious, fresh tomato soup. Silken tofu stands in for traditional heavy cream, lending rich body and a hit of quality protein. A bracing bruschetta topping adds bright, garden-fresh flavor, keeping this summertime soup desirably light and refreshing. If you can’t find heirloom tomatoes, use halved Sun Gold tomatoes instead. Serve this vibrant soup with thick slices of day-old grilled bread (think giant personal croutons) for a virtuously comforting meal.
