     Made this last night and it was EXCEPTIONAL! Took some to my mother and she was very appreciative, as well. Adding some left-over vegetables such as corn or peas would be very good, too. Kudos for this one. :)

    BTW, the leftovers are also good for spaghetti or chili. :)

     Delicious. Reduced the baking soda down to 1/2 tsp and didn't have basil on hand, made it and we enjoyed it. sauteed the onion in the butter prior to adding to soup. Also bought salt free crushed tomatoes -Will make this recipe again - it is so easy to make - 4/24/10

     When I made this, it ended up really buttery tasting (might be since I used ICBINB). I added extra basil and some condensed tomato soup, plus a little catsup. It came out pretty good. It really needed that garlic, but the store was out!! :( - 6/25/08

    "Buttery tasting"...? I haven't a clue why, except that you used that ICBINB stuff. Try making it as written, and then reviewing again... Honestly, I wouldn't touch ICBINB with a 10-foot pole! I'm all for the real thing when I cook. ;-)

     Delicious! I made this last night. It was easy and came out great. The only thing I did differently was I metled the butter in the pot first and sauteed the onion for a couple of minutes in it with about a teaspon of crushed garlic (not i the recipie). Thanks for this awesome and EASY recipie! - 12/31/07

     This recipe is good tasting, however, I end up needing a bit of milk in mine to cut some of the tomato acids. It's just as good with 1/4 C. of 2% milk. - 9/29/19

     I made this. I also made soup with fresh tomatoes. I like the fresh tomatoes better. Tastes more summery. - 1/2/19

     This is a tomato soup I would love to try. It sounds much better than the regular one I have been making here at home. It sounds like it would be tastier and would become a favorite. - 6/23/18

     Sounds really good. Mom makes a tomato soup but not quite like this. Sill try. - 8/7/17
  • SOOKIE
     Loved it. The only thing I did different was use 1 pkt of NuStevia, scooped out 3 c of the soup, and blended it with 2TB of reduced fat cream cheese for a creamy soup. - 3/19/17

     i just made it w/o butter and chicken broth (much less sodium) - all out :-) Put it on to simmer. Used 1/2 tsp baking soda and 1/2 the sugar as per other comments. So far so good - Thanks. - 9/30/13
  • FLIMFLAN
     This was super and delicious! Added some additional spice....very rich and tastey! A total keeper! I haveca far more involved recipe that is not nearly as good - 12/2/12
  • RHARRIS524
     Inedible...I knew 3 tbsp way too much sugar. I should have gone with my gut instinct and used 3 tsp. Gross! - 8/26/12
  • BETWEENTHEPAGES
     Very nice. Didn't turn out perfectly (I should've reduced the baking soda and used a bigger pot) but the whole family enjoyed it. Great with our grilled cheese! Thanks! - 12/25/11

     Yummy in my tummy!!!! Thanks for sharing!! - 9/15/11
  • NEWBIEBAIT
     YUM. I had a recipe similar to this and lost it, this is the perfect replacement. I loved it. I added some diced cooked bacon in with it for my husband and it was great with that as well. For those curious as to what the soda is in there for, I'm pretty darn sure it's just to keep the acidity down. - 8/12/11
  • BEASTIEPLANT
     I made with a huge pot and it seems really delicious! :D yumm - 8/9/11
  • A_SPARKLING
     Amazing, amazing...thanks Beth! I made some real stock from the chicken I had baked earlier....and I did cut down on the butter to 2 Tblsp...that was fine....do you think that you could substitute and use olive oil and get close to the same taste! Thanks again...will share this recipe too!! - 3/5/10
  • KIMHALLMARK
