I made this the day it aired, and wasn't thinking when I added all the salt and other spices. It was inedible and we threw it out. It smelled good before I added the spices, so I kept the recipet try it again without the salt. Glad to see the recipe has been updated. What a waste of time and ingredients due to a lack of review of the recipe posted by the foodnetwork. I hope the second try turns out to be good.

The first time I made this The recipe called for 1 TBLE Red Pepper flakes. Way to hot and I threw the batch away. Luckliy I had more tomatoes and only put in a little pinch of the red pepper and the soup was delicious. I loved the chuncky ness and the seasoning was fantastic. Left out the Salt also due to Salt free diet. Blizzard has hit here and am going to make up a batch with lots of cilantro for after the dig out

I have made this several times. The first after reading the initial comments I reduced all the spices by half and it worked perfectly. I also use Roma tomatos based on our taste. I use 8 regular romas. Making it again and I see the recipe measurements on the spices removed - at least they read the reveiws! We LOVE this soup and it is so very easy.

This soup is amazingly easy to make, I just made this soup for a second time minus chicken bouillon as I didn't have any. I also added oregano which tastes fantastic! Pair this with the Aaron's grilled cheese and you have a killer dinner or lunch!

This was one recipe that I had very high expectations for and it was dreadful!!!
I printed the recipe last week and finally bought the ingredients and made it for our Sunday dinner. I took one taste and ran for a drink. I tried everything to doctor it and get rid of some of the pepper but it was sooooooo overly peppery that nothing helped. It wa so awful that we threw it away. What a waste of time and money.

I admit, I did not follow this recipe PRECISELY when it came to the sherry and hot pepper, but everything else was followed to the T.

What a WONDERFUL soup! So easy to make, so delicious... never, EVER again will I purchase pre-made, pre-canned soup!

I paired it with the Funked Out Grilled Cheese sandwich. The sandwich was ALSO delicious, but I can't get over how amazing this tomato soup was. Aaron, I compliment you: you're a genius!

I modified the recipe a little bit by doing the following:
reduced the amount of red pepper flakes
added Sazon Accent (Latin seasoning
added a tablespoon of Creme Fraiche, basil and balsamic vinegar at the end (didn't have sherry vinegar
The result was a delicious tomato soup with my personal touch. YUM!
Thank you Aaron (Big Daddy!

This tomato soup is THE BEST I've ever tasted. Spicy and delicious. If you're not in the mood for spicy, then alter the amount of both red and cracked pepper to suit your needs. But you MUST try this soup. It's terrific on it's own, but even better with Aaorn's Funked Out Grilled Cheese.

Aaron and the Food Network......REALLY?! I am completely disappointed in this recipe. I followed it to a T, although when it called for 1 tablespoon of crushed red pepper and another tablespoon of black pepper, my cooking instinct was telling me this was far too much heat. Man was I right! The soup was so hot/spicy that we could not even eat it. We had to throw it away. I will probably make it again, but I will follow my gut next time and add only about 1/3 of the red pepper flakes and pepper. I find this kind of stuff is happening more and more with the Food Network recipes. I made a recipe of Ina Garten's the other day and it was WAY too salty....and I love salt. The Food Network needs to hire some good proofreaders/quality control people...if not, they are going to start losing a lot of foodies! In the interim, Aaron, I love ya, man, but your reputation is at stake!
