I chose this recipe because my mom has made it a lot every summer and it just came to mind while I was writing this.
This is one of my favorite summertime recipes.

If you have the time, you can also make your own homemade croutons as tasty toppings. You cut up french bread and saute it in a pan with olive oil and garlic.
