Tomato Soup

"This has become one of my family's favorite soups. I begged my friend for this recipe after tasting it at her home. It has a very appealing smooth taste that cannot be compared with store bought tomato soup. You may also subsitute 1-2 lbs. fresh chopped tomatoes for the canned diced tomatoes and tomato sauce."

  1. I feel so sorry for the review cause everyone before me gave 5 stars. But I couldn't finish my bowl. I found it too acid, too tomato. DH ate it but after adding a ton of black pepper. Usually I like tomato soup :( Maybe without the tomato paste, it would be better for me. Thanks RDH for posting. Made for PAC Spring 2008.
     
  2. Prepared for PAC Spring 2008 An excellent tomato soup. I prepared exactly as written. The potato gives a hearty texture to the soup. I topped it with just a sprinkle of Parmesean cheese at serving. This will be a staple next winter with grilled cheese sandwiches.
     
  3. We enjoyed this today for lunch. I have not had homemade tomato soup since I was a little girl. THis recipe sure tastes better then my mom's but don't tell her that. DD and I made this with 2 pounds of our garden fresh tomatoes (we seeded them). We did not use the tomato sauce instead increased the tomato paste to a 12 ounce can for a thicker soup. We also used 2 chicken bouillon cubes added to 1 3/4 cup hot water for the broth. RDH, thank you for posting this recipe, we will be making it often.
     
  4. I'm glad your friend gave up her recipe. This soup has a great texture and is really tasty. The potato and skim milk give it a bit of creaminess without the fat. I made this just as written and look forward to usuing fresh garden tomatoes for this. Thanx!
