This is a fantastic tomato soup as is! We use 1 can crushed tomatoes and 1 can diced tomatoes. After a bit of experimentation, we add a bit of baking soda (less than 1/8 tsp) to cut the acidity and cut the butter in half. Canned milk is a good alternative to whipping cream, too.

Can you use fresh garden tomatoes in place of the canned?

I sauteed 1 minced garlic clove and 1 tsp dried basil in 1 tbsp of olive oil, before following the rest of the recipe. It added a deeper taste.We had this for a Christmas dinner course, and it was loved by all.

I made this exactly as the recipe states and it's rather bland so I started adding cayenne pepper, garlic powder and salt. Much better!!

This was very simple and good. It's pure comfort food. I did tweak some things though to give it a bit more kick. I added a little more sugar, some Nature's Seasoning Salt, Italian seasoning and a dash of garlic salt. Everyone just loved it!

so so good! I threw in some parmesan cheese [just because I love that stuff] and it went together perfectly.

Again - a perfect "adult" tomato soup. The touch of butter at the end, lends it a nice silkiness!
