Tips
Not sure how to remove the skins and seeds from a tomato? Let Chef Meg show you how. Watch now!
In summer, when backyard gardens and farmers markets overflow with good tomatoes, use fresh ones. If you can't find really good tomatoes (or it's the middle of winter), use two 14.5 ounce cans of no salt-added tomatoes.

Similar to mine. No bread, but add diced celery, carrots & parsley, a dash of Worcestershire, 1/4 tsp. ground cloves; Cook longer to reduce. For Cream of Tomato, cut stock in half and add that amount of fat-free half & half or fat-free heavy cream. Can use no-salt added diced toms or puree if needed - 8/15/10

I make a simplified version of this soup that features basil as the primary herb. One thing you will need to do is to peel the tomatoes first if you want it to be very smooth. I freeze my extra tomatoes in the summer (uncooked, in large chunks, in baggies), then make this soup in the winter. - 7/15/10

Used canned diced tomoatoes and it turned out great! Easy to make and it tasted so fresh. I used a regular blender and it was smooth. Next time I will leave out 1/2 a can of tomatoes and add at the end to have chunks of tomato in the soup (like Progresso Hearty Tomato). Will not go back to canned! - 10/13/10
