This is seriously the best tomato soup I've ever tasted. I've tried many recipes, and I love to order tomato bisque at restaurants. But this is the best! I follow the directions exactly, except I run the soup through the blender at the very end to smooth it out. It is thick and hearty without all the extra fat of adding heavy cream. Don't worry, you won't miss it. I've made the soup 4 or 5 times now and can't wait to have it again!

So good! I love that is doesn't have broth so the sodium stays low! To me the end result is a cross between a delicious marinara and traditional Catalan tomato spread made into a soup! So good! I also roasted my garlic before adding to concentrate the flavors more!

LOved the rich flavor of this soup! I did not have stale Italian bread to ad, so I substituted Italian bread crumbs. It worked very well but I need to cut the amount back to perhaps 1/2 cup - otherwise the soup becomes too thick. The soup is almost marinara-like in its consistency (perhaps due to my bread crumb sustitution.

This is an easy recipe to follow and a surprizingly complex tomato soup in the end. Really loved it!

Super easy too. Followed directions exact but used immersion blender like Anne did on the episode. I wish I would have peeled the tomatoes first.

I was really bored on this rainy day we're having and watching food network, as usual. I saw Chef Anne start to make this soup and realized it had all of my favorite foods in one soup...onion, garlic, tomato, bread, and WINE?! Well, don't mind if I do!! It was incredibly easy to make which was awesome. To be honest, I didn't really follow the recipe exactly as far as measurements go..I just kind of used what I had of each ingredient and it turned out great!! Recipes like this one are so nice because if you don't have exactly 2lbs of tomato, or if you have a sweet onion instead of a red one (like I had it will still turn out wonderful. I didn't even have tomato juice and it still had incredible flavor. Also, I used a multigrain bread instead of white bread to make it a bit healthier. I love this soup because it has the flavor and texture of a creamy soup without using ANY milk butter or cream! So great, especially for a lactose intolerant girl like me : Because this recipe is so easy, I think in the future I might try to add my own little twists on it..I broiled some green pepper and was thinking of adding it in the mix today but the soup was so good as is that I couldn't take the chance this time! Enjoy!

Made this for dinner, along with a tomato mozzerella panini, and it was to die for. I didn't have stale bread so I used fresh french bread. I found that the bread wouldn't dissolve after 20 minutes, so I simply used my immersion blender, to make the soup more smooth. I'm sure that if I had used the stale bread, I wouldn't have had to do this extra step. Thanks so much for a great recipe Anne!

this is a great way to use up those summer tomatoes. I used some left over stale bread too. Make a BIG pot because everyone is going to love this. Almost a meal in it's self. I LOVE Anne"s passion for food!
