Roasted Tomato Feta Soup

This Roasted Tomato Feta Soup is a copycat of my favorite Trader Joe's Tomato Feta Soup, which is offered in the prepared food area of their stores. I decided to bite the bullet and figure out how to recreate the store-bought version I’ve been buying for years!

Notes

I use vegetable broth but chicken broth can certainly be used if that is what you have on hand!
Pairs well with french bread and brie cheese or a grilled cheese sandwich to soak up every last drop from your bowl!
