  Really good recipe. I added 3 cups of white beans (blended) into the soup. It really made the soup thicker and added lots of protein. Also added 1 tsp cayanne and 1 tbl brown sugar. Really Good, thanks for the recipe. - 3/3/10

  I made this for supper. I scaled it down to four servings. I also entered it in my Mastercook program and used 1% milk. I got 86 calories per serving and 410 mg sodium per serving. It was very good as is but I did add a little sugar to the leftovers (amounting to 1/2 teaspoon per four servings). - 5/16/09

  For fuller body without the added fat try using evaporated skim milk. We love it that way! Thanks for a very flavorful and unique spin on tomato soup. - 12/6/09

  ***use a hand-held immersion blender*** -right in the cooking pot instead of transferring hot soup to your big blender - 5/30/10

  The soup was pretty good, but I had to add some honey as a sweetener to counteract the acidity from the tomatoes and vinegar. Very simple and quick to make. Next time, I will probably cut the recipe in half. - 2/7/10

  I halved the recipe and substituted in some fresh tomatoes instead of all canned. The whole family loved it and the balsamic vinegar is a nice touch. - 2/27/09

  Robust fresh tomatoey taste. I found that I needed quite a bit of salt for my taste--about 2 tsp-- but that probably depends on what stock you're using. I might try the beans idea next time to make this a one pot meal. Thanks! - 2/8/13

  This was so good! I have never made tomato soup before, and this was spot on right from the start! I scaled down the recipe so that I just used one can of tomatoes, and it was perfect for three people. I'm new to cooking, and this was so easy, and so tasty - my mom even asked me for the recipe :) - 10/8/11

  I love tomato soup. This was great. Instead of 3 lg cans, I used 2, then added 2 sm cans of roasted tomatoes. I also added 1/2 T of Splenda brown sugar to take away some of the tartness. - 5/11/11

  This recipe is good. It is simple, very easy to make and doesn't take much time at all. I did cut the recipe in half and still had lots left over. I used a couple extra cloves of garlic for more flavor. Make sure you cut the fresh basil finely unless you like it chunky. - 3/21/11

  I like a little chunkiness to my Soup. I took the whole tomatoes out out of the can and chopped them with my chopper. I chopped the onions as fine as I could. I then followed the recipe but did add about a Tblsp. of brn. sugar.
  Great!!!! - 10/22/10

  I kind of riffed off this based on what I had on hand which was tomatoe paste, already opened. And basil. and roasted garlic which I used lots of. I won't rate this as I didn't really try it as given, but am grateful for the inspiration! - 5/25/10

  I tried it out. It is good fast way to make a Tomato Soup. I did add somthing new to it: Tahrana. It is a crumbled kind of dried noodle originally made out of tomato souce instead of water. No egg and no additional spice in the Tahrana. Got it in a local Bosnian market. Yum! - 2/9/10

  I have never made tomato soup from scrach. I used fat free milk in mine. Word of advice don't fill the blender full it will result in hot tomato soup all over the kitchen and yourself. We also garnished it with some parmesan cheese which was yummy. Thanks for the recipe! - 1/21/10

  Used canned crushed tomatoes and 1/4 cup of dried basil, as I did not have fresh. Everything else was followed as recipe states, using 1% milk, not cream, and it was delish. We served it with grilled cheese and the whole family enjoyed dipping it in. Had leftovers with some elbow pasta mixed in! - 12/13/09

  The basic recipe here was good. I added some Parmesan cheese and a dash of chili peppers and a pinch of nutmeg. I also used fresh tomatoes from my garden and had to strain it at the end as the skins were tough. - 9/13/09

  Hi, I just found the recipe. I have tomatoes in the freezer from last years garden. Would it be ok to use the fresh/frozen ones instead of the canned? Also can I use 1% milk? What difference would the 1% make as apposed to your recipe with 2% or cream.
  Thanks

  Hi! I'm sure the frozen ones would work just as well and they will probably have a better flavor! You could use any % of milk and probably not tell a difference, unless you are used to whole or heavy cream (it has a thicker feel, but not really that noticeable). Hope you enjoy the recipe!!

  Hi, Jackiepaper! I did the nutritional info on the cream because that's what my family likes the best, so we use it more often. Hope you like the recipe!
