I didn't have fresh tomatoes because there aren't any good ones in season right now so I just subbed in a 28oz can of whole tomatoes, juices and all, following the directions of blending it with the other ingredients and it worked perfectly! The soup is a little more brothy so if you like a thicker soup drain the tomatoes first but hold onto the leftover juice in case you need to thin it out.
