I created this recipe on a bad weather day. My husband, Mic, and my daughter, Liz, ask for this soup constantly. Whenever I send it with my daughter for lunch at school, I always send some for her friend, too. It is pure comfort food.

I love this soup! I use organic tomatoes and organic vegetable broth instead of chicken broth, it turns out SO yummy.

I halved the recipe to make four servings just for me. It was excellent and I'll be making it again. Lots of possible variations depending how spicy one likes it. I tossed in some extra dried basil and oregano and a shake of freshly ground pepper. Using yellow onion was fine. Very tasty.

This was super easy and delicious! I added 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt and 1/2 teaspoon oregano to give it a little extra flavor. I will be making this again!

My husband loves this Tomato soup! He says no more canned tomato soup. I altered the recipe with adding a handful of sliced mushrooms to the soup, and I had a 32 oz container of Chicken broth so I added a little extra water. Turns out great!

This has become part of my recipe collection!

I did make a few changes as I like a creamer tomato soup:

½ cup flour

1 carton (32 ounces) chicken broth; reduced sodium or no sodium broth

1 (15 oz can) tomato sauce

1 to 2 cups heavy cream or ½ & ½

I did the butter/flour sauté according to the directions but then I added it to the blender with the diced tomatoes and pureed it all up and poured it into a stock pot and gradually whisk in broth and tomato sauce. Then I cooked it to the directions and then added cream and simmer just until hot but not boiling.

I made this exact the first time and while the flavor was very good, I also thought it was too thin for dipping like keverwann said. I made it again today but instead doubled everything except for the chicken broth, which I only used a 32 oz. carton. And I use sweet onions instead of red - not sure how much of a difference that makes. Blended all with my immersion blender and the consistency was perfect. This is an awesome, quick and easy recipe for when I don't have fresh tomatoes to make soup out of, and so much better than condensed!

Making this again for my family this weekend.

I am so glad I found this recipe! It is the best! The only change I made was to add a little half and half right before I served it because I like a creamy tomato soup. I served it with shredded parmesan cheese and homemade croutons. Try this-you won't be disappointed.
