I made this according to the directions except I added garlic with the onion when I sauted in the butter. It was excellent! I froze it in containers (with the cream added) and it was as good as when I made it fresh.

This soup is great!! I have made it per the recipe (though I use half and half instead of heavy cream) several times, but just bought a food mill yesterday - so skipped the up front peeling and seeding the tomatoes - just coarsley chopped them - cooked - then put through the mill - quick and easy!! When I am planning to freeze batches of this, I just prep through the tomato cooking phase, then bag and freeze - to save on freezer space. Then, in the middle of winter when I want a wonderful soup, I thaw it, and finish the prep where I left off. Since the time consuming part is already done, this makes for a quick meal and is delicious. So much better than canned or boxed soups!

I substituted fresh herbs for the dried and it was delicous!

This was my first attempt to make home made tomato soup and it was great!! Due to the tomato prep, I would say it took more like 30 min. to put together, but worth it! I had a lot of tomatoes to use up from the garden, so was happy that this used 3# of them. I think that I will make another batch and freeze it after it is cooked, but before the cream is added. Then when I want to serve it, I will simply thaw and warm it, add the cream and voila! It'll be like summer in the middle of winter. Also - I used 1/2 and 1/2 instead of heavy cream - that is what I had on hand, and also makes it lighter, but still tasty and creamy.
