I consider myself a better-than-average soup maker, so when I tell you that this soup ranks in the top two or three of all soups I’ve made, ever, it’s because I want you to try this right away. I first made this for my friend Lucia, whose homemade peach salsa sent it right over the top, but Trader Joe’s or Newman’s Own or your own peach salsa will be perfect. *Note: if you use a tomato-based peach salsa, eliminate the plum tomato in this recipe.
