Tip

Quick and Easy Peeling

To peel tomatoes quickly and easily, cut a shallow "X" on the bottom of the tomato. Put it into a pot of boiling water for about 1 minute, then rinse under cold water. The skin will peel right off. —Claire Groff, Murphy, North Carolina

I used basil instead of time and cut the butter in half and added a splash of olive oil. It was very good.

I like my tomato soup creamy, so after taking out the bay leaf I poured it in the blender and it came out very creamy.
