National Florida Tomato Month brings vine-fresh
fruit to the forefront. The low-calorie garden goodies are a key
dietary source of lycopene - an antioxidant with abundant health
benefits, including reduced risk of heart disease and cancer. What's
more, tomatoes make a great topping, soup or main ingredient in fresh
summer salsa. No matter how you slice it, you can't go wrong with a tasty
tomato dish. And April is the ideal time to celebrate every slice! Here are a
few recipes to try, along with some tomato tips and interesting facts.

6. Using a slotted spoon, transfer
1 1/2 cups of corn to a blender,
add sour cream and 1/2 cup of
the cooking liquid and puree until
smooth, for about two minutes.
7. Return the puree to the soup.
8. Add the tomatoes, scallion and
one tablespoon of cilantro to the
soup and cook until heated through.
Serve hot and garnish with cilantro.
