I just made this and it was great. I did take the advice of one of the reviewers and added 1/2 teaspoon of clove. It added an extra layer of warmth to it. Wonderful! I would make this again.

Unless you have a food mill, do not attempt this recipe. I used a food processor, and the soup came out mealy and disgusting. I will never make this again.

Wow...very nice. All of the ingredients come together perfectly. The only thing I did differently was use half and half instead of cream (wanted to reduce the fat but not pour watery milk in it. I don't have a food mill so used an immersion blender and then a collander inside of a salad bowl for straining. It worked perfect. I'm going to make another batch while the tomatoes and basil are still garden fresh and freeze it.

Thanks Ina!

I was looking for a way to use my overabundance of fresh garden tomatoes that all seemed to ripen at once, and boy was this a winner! Sooooooo good! I am going to freeze the next batch of tomatoes that ripen so I can make this in the middle of winter. I used sweet vidalia onion instead of red, and a little less basil, but otherwise followed recipe.

This is the best tomato soup I have ever had. My husband said it was "restaurant quality" and I agree. I also agree with other readers who suggested to cut the amount of pepper to 1 teaspoon. It has a bit of a spicy bite with just 1 teaspoon so if you are not a fan of pepper then reduce even further.

I love this recipe, I have been dieing to make it again! I only used 2tbl spoons of cream, and it was more then enough.
I like spicy, so it did't other meut I don't think the spic is comming from the pepper ut from the onions, there is alot of oinons, so if you like it less spicy use less onions

This is, hands down, the best recipe for tomato soup we've ever had. Fresh tomatos are a must! The only change I made was less salt, and the use of 2% milk instead of heavy cream. Honeslty, you'd never guess the calorie savings there, and the taste is not compromised at all. Even my 3-year old son loved it! Thank you, Ina, once again.

This recipe is excellent and so easy. I added a little more tomatoes but I think my tomatoes were smaller than the ones Ina used. I didn't have a food mill so I used an immersion blender. It probably wasn't as smooth as Ina's but it was delicious. Even better the next day!

Great soup--full of flavor! If I made it again I'd start off with less cream and taste as I added it. I thought 3/4 cup was a little bit too much. Also, I might puree part of the vegetables and add it to the soup to make it a little thicker.
