It’s August, which means a few great things. 1) My birthday is just around the corner and 2) Tomato Season is in full swing!

If you’ve never been to Nashville, you’ve probably never heard of the Tomato Art Festival. It’s exactly what it sounds like – one huge party in East Nashville to celebrate our favorite fruit – the tomato – and all the great art Nashville has to offer.

Now, normally I’m not much of a tomato person, but when I saw so many delicious red fruits at the Farmer’s Market, I couldn’t resist! I loved canned tomato soup when I was younger (with a little grilled cheese on the side), so I decided to recreate the recipe with a healthy twist! In lieu of the Tomato Art Festival, I created this yummy Paleo Cream of Tomato Soup.
