We thought this soup was wonderful. The flavor was rich and just perfect with toasted cheese sandwiches- perfect to usher in those chilly fall evenings. I didn't change a thing, except to omit the sherry because I had none. I will definitely use this recipe again!

Good soup. I made it as directed except that I halved the recipe. To the leftovers, I added a few red chili flakes which added a nice little zing. Thanks Jan. Made for Photo Tag.

very rich and tasty. I omitted the paste (I hate having a half can of paste molding in the fridge) and didn't miss it. Local heirloom tomatoes helped. I used a stick blender and didn't bother to strain skin or seeds.
