"My husband, who doesn't like tomato soup, really likes this rich and creamy version," informs Marie Keyes of Cheney, Washington. "It's easy, but it tastes like you put a lot of work into it. When I share it with co-workers, everyone loves it."

My family has been making this soup for years, and it's a favorite. It's easy to make and very flavorful. I've had many requests for this recipe. It's a winter time staple in our household. Enjoy!

I didn't really like this recipe, in a way it tasted tangy, most likely from the canned tomatoes. Might be better with more sugar. Most of it was fed to the chickens.

I have been making this soup since it was published in 2000. It is quick and easy! Sometimes for added flavor I use the diced or petite tomatoes already seasoned with basil, garlic and oregano. It is requested at every family party during the winter months. I made it for a friend of mine who is a writer. She loved it so much she wrote a story about it! We have since renamed it, "Lick the Bowl Clean Soup"!

"Restaurant quality!" says my dad, a long-time chef. Tastes just like Isaac's tomato soup (even without the hot sauce, which I omitted because I didn't have any). Unlike my dad, I am not a great cook and it still turned out amazing!

My husband and I had pepperjack tomato soup at Isaac's Deli recently and really wanted to recreate it at home, so I was thrilled to find this recipe. I followed the recipe to the letter but I added 8 oz. of pepperjack cheese (plus a little extra milk) to spice it up a bit. Hubby and I enjoyed it but the kids wouldn't touch it. (More for us! :))

Next time, I will leave out the cream cheese (we didn't like the cream cheese flavor that it left in the soup), and I will use pepperjack Velveeta instead of real pepperjack cheese to give the soup a smoother texture.

Also, since my hubby and I both like our tomato soup smooth, I'll use tomato puree or tomato sauce instead of diced tomatoes in the future. (Our soup had lots of curled-up tomato skins in it from the diced tomatoes...that's just not a good mouth-feel.)

Otherwise, very tasty. Definitely the best tomato soup I've ever had. :)

I loved this soup. SO easy to make and really tasty! I used reduced fat cream cheese, and I also used the cans of diced tomatoes with green chiles - it gave it a little extra kick. I definitely recommend it and will make it often!
