I feel like the other review, Don't mask up your tomato soup
with CREAM. Just use a couple slices of bread to thicken the
soup and or Gold Fish Cracker Very Very Tasty....
Alway love Friday

Ina is my favorite FN host because her recipes never disappoint. I made this soup as is except I used finely ground pepper. I also put mine in a blender because I don't have a food mill yet. I also made this same soup by roasting the tomatoes, onions and carrot. My family and I actually liked it better that way because it brings out the natural sweetness in veggies. I also think that it is important to use really fresh basil. I also used homemade chicken stock which really makes the soup really rich along with the heavy cream. I have never even liked tomato soup until I tasted Ina's. I guess I had only tasted the kind out of the can though.

This was disappointing until I made it into a true Tomato Soup recipe. In its present state its a Chicken soup with tomatoes. For a real, true Tomato soup use only tomatoes, tomato broth. To vary it but keep the integrity of the Tomato try a corn stock or vegetable stock.

To make it creamy while maintaining the integrity add a step where you emulsify tomatoes with olive oil and/or add bread. Try avoiding heavy cream when there are other more delicious and more healthy alternatives! And it tastes better without the cream masking the tomato!

Wow, I really didn't know tomato soup could taste this good homemade. I'll make this again and again! Even my insufferably picky daughter liked it!

follow the recipe...and YES use the heavy cream and add the carrots. One of the best tomato soups I have made/had. Try a dollop of sour cream or shredded parmesean on top ...add a crouton or 2....yum yum...

I'm giving this 5 stars BUT it has way too much pepper. I don't have a food mill so used a immersion blender which worked great. I will be making this again but with half the pepper.

Super yummy. Ina never disappoints. Easy recipe to follow with great results and great flavor. I'd go easy on the black pepper though, other than that, can't get enough of this soup!

Awesome. Didn't have any basil so used oregano. Also added a splash or two of balsamic. Will make again. Thanks Ina!

What else would you expect from Ina, but a GREAT recipe! We grew tomatoes for the first time this year and had plenty to try out this tomato soup recipe. We were not disappointed. Followed the recipe exactly, but I don't have a food mill so I used my food processor. Still turned out wonderful. Thank you Ina!

P.S. Jeffrey's a lucky man!
