Using beefsteak or other juicy tomatoes makes for a light, delicately nuanced soup that works in hot weather. Plum tomatoes will result in a more intensely flavored soup that's good for the chilly fall months. It's impossible to play favorites: They're both wonderful.
Cooks' note:
Soup can be made 1 day ahead and chilled (covered once cool). Reheat just before serving.
