Silky Summer Tomato Soup With Spinach Coulis is a fresh and flavorful summer soup. Ripe tomatoes are roasted in the oven with onions and garlic until they’re soft and caramelized. The mixture is then pureed in a blender or food processor until it’s silky smooth. The soup is garnished with a homemade spinach coulis, made by blending spinach, oil, salt, and water together, that adds both a bright green hue and a slightly tangy flavor. This dish would make an excellent first course for a summer dinner party or a light lunch to enjoy in the sun.
