    After all the rave reviews I was expecting a great soup. Boy was I disappointed. I did what others suggested and cut down on the pepper and salt. Because of items / ingredients available I had to do a few substitutions so maybe that accounted for my very poor results but I really don't think that was the main reason (i.e. - vidalia rather than red onions, ketchup rather than tomato paste, emulsion blender rather than food mill
    I love tomato soup but this was just barely edible. It was very acidic and sour and gave both me and my husband heartburn. The flavor was pretty yucky. The color was orange so not very appetizing (I put less carrots than it said so don't understand why so orange. For me, this is NOT a repeat.

    This is by far the best soup I have ever had. My dad hates tomato soup, and he loves this one! Definitely try it.

    Absolutely delicious! I saw this recipe while on a cross trainer at my gym and had to go directly to the store, buy the ingredients and the food mill. I made it exactly to specifications. It's fresh and delicious! I think it's great by itself but paired with a little quiche or grilled cheese..yum! Personally, I loved the kick from the fresh grated pepper but I'm a spicy food lover anyway. I can't wait to make it again and I can't wait until tomato season. I'm going to be visiting the farmers market frequently! Any ideas on how this soup freezes? I'd love to make some & freeze it if that's at all possible..

    The tomato recipe I usually make is simple, healthy and satisfying: tomatoes, carrots, garlic, olive oil, cilantro in water. But doesn't win my heart like adding heavy whipping cream, chicken broth, and touch of basil leaves. It's hard to go wrong with these ingredients. I hastily chunked everything together without saateing using my own imagination for measurement and it was wonderful. This with a Gorgonzola spinach salad and crackers, garlic salt oregano bread, or croutons mmmmm one of my favourite foods now.

    The flavour in this soup was absolutly amazing!!! Will definetly make again on one of those cold nights! If you're not to keen on spice, don't add so much pepper, just something to keep in mind.

    The ground pepper was overwhelming in this recipe. It was way too spicy for my family. I will make this recipe again because I tasted it before adding the pepper and it was delicious. Next time, I will try 3/4 tsp. of pepper instead of 2 tsp.

    Very good! I used fresh ground pepper - less than the recipe calls for. I also used 1/2 and 1/2 instead of heavy cream. My son loved it! Almost as good as the tomato soup we had skiing at Zermatt, Switzerland. But, I think that was due to the view of the Matterhorn... Definately will make again and again.... Thanks Ina!

    I thought this soup was very good and lovely on a cold rainy day! I followed the recipe exactly with a few exceptions.. I dont have a food mill nor a Cuisinart, so I shocked the tomatoes to peel them before chopping, and when the cooking was done I mixed the soup in a blender. It turned out great!

    First time I made it exactly as directed.Good, but wow!Was it spicy! Next time I cut the pepper to 1/2 t. Just right for my taste. Easy to make & a good way to use up the last of the garden tomatoes. Made grilled cheese sandwiches with garlic cheddar cheese to go with. Excellant pairing! My kids hate tomato soup, but they changed their minds after eating this tomato soup.
