Delicious tomato soup! I used a mixture of Roma and cherry from our garden. I didn t have a countertop blender so I used my immersion blender. Next time I ll run it through the food mill after blending. The skins were a texture issue for us. Read More

It was easy to make, and I was excited to use the immersion blender. But overall, it was really bland. Add lots more salt if you want to try this recipe. Read More

This recipe was in my opinion OK but still liked it. I expected a different flavor or the like but for some reason I did not find this soup outstanding or surprising. I sprinkled a pinch of parmesan cheese when I served it. This recipe was very similar in flavor to the Garden Fresh Tomato Soup from this site minus the roux. I highly recommend to use a hand blender if you have it. This will shorten the preparation time and yield a creamy soup. I will make this recipe again but will try it with roux and may pass it through a sieve for texture. Read More

I made this exactly as written, and enjoyed it. I agree with other reviewers that it is slightly bland, but with some added salt and pepper the taste is improved. I also will probably strain the seeds and skins out next time. I do like the hint of bell pepper and onion, and definitely don’t skip the fresh basil. Read More

I loved it! Just added a little more s/p and when serving sprinkled some Romano cheese on top...Accompanied with a nice toasted grilled cheese on the side. Definitely a keeper. Thank you! Read More

I rated this 3 stars because of the cooking time and amount of broth used. After 30 minutes my onions were still hard. I added another 30 minutes before adding the garlic. This gave my puree a silky texture instead of chunky. I used homemade chicken broth but since I like more of a pureed texture I only needed two cups 5 cups would've been too watery for me. I added 1/2 teaspoon of dried basil after returning the mixture to the pot and simmered for 10 minutes in additional to the fresh as a garnish. I also used Sante fe peppers instead of red bell peppers which upset my stomach. They have the same texture but a little heat. I will definitely make again with the changes. Read More

There is nothing like homemade tomato soup! This recipe was delicious and easy but I found it a little thin but to be fair I used Jersey tomatoes instead of plum and that could be why. going to add just a little more red pepper next time. Read More
