Mother made this soup when I was a child, and it was always one of my favorites. After 75 years, it still is! Mother's cellar was filled with home-canned vegetables, so the basic ingredient of this soup was right at hand. It never took her long to make a kettle of this wonderful soup.

A QUART of milk???? It was not creamy at all. Turned out like water. Somebody got this wrong. Maybe a cup of milk. Yuk.

I will never buy another can of tomato soup again! This recipe was beyond delicious--even my teenage daughter loved it, and she doesn't even like canned tomato soup! The flavor of the soup was fresh and wholesome--it didn't have any of the vinegary tartness that the canned soups have. I add fresh dill in season, or dried, as well as any other fresh herbs that my garden is producing in Summer. Enjoy!

This sounds like a great way to serve my garden tomatoes. Does anyone know if I can use them freshly diced (since there is boiling involved)? If so, would I need to add any additional ingredients to substitute from the canned tomatoes? Thank you for any advice! I can imagine serving this with homemade bread toasted with cheese! Yum!

This was just like the soup my elderly mother remembers her aunt making ninety years ago. She and I greatly enjoyed it. I did add a little sugar, as I always do with recipes that are strongly tomato.

I wanted a creamy tomato soup that wasn't made from a canned soup. This was perfect. It was fast and easy and was made with canned tomatoes which I had plenty on hand. It was very good and was perfect to drink from soup cups. I will definitely make this again.

I grew up on a farm where there was plenty of homegrown and canned tomatoes. This was the only way I knew tomatoe soup. No can for me.
