Tangy Herbed Tomato Soup

"This one has a nice zippy flavor. By all means, use fresh tomatoes if you have nice ripe ones. Use about 8 large, peeled and cut up, in place of the canned."

  1. This was totally awesome! It was easy, and tasted delicious. I did make a roux instead of making a slurry, but other than that followed the recipe. I also used my immersion blender, which made this soup a snap. We will definitely be making this again, thanks for posting.
     
  2. We absolutely LOVED this soup!! It was so delicious and tasted garden-fresh even with snow on the ground. It went together easily and was great with a BLT. The one thing I didn't do is drain my tomatoes - but it was still a creamy, thick consitency. We will make this again and again and again. Thanks graffeetee :)
