I don't peel the tomatoes because there are lots of vitamins and fiber in the skin. If you puree the soup well, you won't taste them. I use half cherry tomatoes, half regular tomatoes.
My first attempt making tomato soup. Loved that I didn't need to peel the tomatoes. I only used cherry tomatoes from my garden, roasted them, and added a cup of soaked raw cashews and nutritional yeast in the blending. What resulted was a lovely, not too tomatoey, creamy like soup that was good hot or cold.

All I can say is I’ve made this recipe twice and am already planning my third. Absolutely delicious. I use chicken stock instead of vegetable because vegetable is not available where I live. For variation I take half the soup and add a little tomato paste and some red pepper paste for spice. I even eat it cold like gazpacho.
Super easy and super good. A perfect way to use tomatoes that are past prime. No one else in my family likes tomato soup, but I now have lunch for the next few days!
I added a 1/2 c. of almond milk and some vegan cream cheese lowly while simmering. So good.
I had very good luck with this recipe. I concur that you have to use quality tomatoes. My oldest daughter is a vegan so this soup hit the spot. My only addition is to have red pepper flakes on the ready if people want to up the spice (serve table side in case others don’t like the heat. Same with salt and pepper. And only natural paired food is toasted grilled cheese sandwich on sourdough bread.
