Could this get any simpler? I don't think so! How absolutely luscious this is! My only change was to add a tablespoon of brown sugar to the pot, it really enhances the tomato flavor. A few crackers on the side and you've got a great lunch, or a perfect start to a great dinner!

This was amazingly simple to make and it was as delicious as any 5 star restauarant would serve. I also added 1 Tblsp of brown sugar and fresh basil, but other than that I followed the directions as insructed. We will definitely be making this again and again. Thank you GinnyP for sharing this recipe.

I added the brown sugar as someone suggested, and I thought it did a great job bringing the natural sweetness out. I also added a pinch of both black pepper and chili flakes, and it added a great depth of flavor to the soup. Yum!

Thank you for sharing this very tasty and extremely easy recipe! I used a hand blender to make the texture a bit smoother and we found it needed a bit of salt at the table, but other than that we followed the directions exactly. This will be perfect on a cold winter day and it is 1000% better than any canned soup.

It doesn't get any easier than this. Quick, simple, and good. I used stewed tomatoes that also had onion, celery, and green bell pepper in them. Thanks GinnyP for sharing the recipe. Made for Cookbook Tag.
