Fantastic! I use part olive oil for a healthier fat and part skim milk. - 1/7/16

This recipe was on my pinterest board so I thought I would search for it here. One of the best Tomato soups I've had. I made it on the stove instead of using the slow cooker. I might try it next time, but it was awesome on the stove. - 2/7/14
