Grandma's Old Fashioned Creamy Tomato Soup

People talking
This is a wonderfully rich and creamy tomato soup with a hint of sweetness to it. It tastes just like grandma used to make when things were truly homemade and from scratch. The chunks of tomatoes can either be left alone or pureed into the soup if you prefer a smooth texture.

I just used this as a basic guide. Didn't want to make a special trip to the grocery for heavy cream so just added a bit more butter and thickened it with corn starch. Also, I just used my garden tomatoes processed by hand through a New Star Foodservice 42566 3-Piece Stainless Steel Chinois Strainer -- no store bought tomato juice, no V8 or anything like that. Think I've got about two quarts. Added two teaspoons of crushed basil, a little chopped up onion, salt and pepper and crushed red pepper. Very thick, creamy soup. Added a little too much milk, but will be better next time!Reply

It is a nice soup. It bears the distinguish taste of the tomatoes and the butter.1Reply

Very good soup! I used the end of my garden tomatoes. Since I wasn't sure on the size of tomatoes, I just added what I thought would be right for the soup. About 4 cups. I also used V8 instead of plain tomato juice. Made for PAC Fall 2008 Edit: I made this again over the weekend with tomatoes I had frozen. Was just a delicious! I also added 1 large minced onion.1Reply
