This was easy to make, but I found it lacking in rich flavor. I'll try it again tomorrow, but it definitely needs spicing up!

I LOVE this recipe exactly as written. Use a really good extra virgin olive oil and it will be wonderful. I serve this as a first course topped with a dollop of Greek yogurt and a beautiful green basil leaf. The main course is Ira's roasted shrimp and orzo salad. Add a really good crusty bread with sweet butter and you have a delicious meal! The pecan bars in Ina's newest cookbook makes a perfect desert along with a really good cup of coffee. People will think that you are a real gourmet cook. The really goods news is that the pecan bars can be made ahead and frozen and the soup and salad are best if made the evening before.

Thanks for another fabulous recipe. The flavors are perfectly balanced and the food mill gave the soup a beautiful smooth, velvety texture!

I LOVE this recipe. It makes a lot of food and it is usually gone at my house within a week. I substitute water for chicken broth if I dont have broth around.

I have been making this soup for about a year and it's fantastic! I reduce the onions by half (sorry Ina! and it doesn't seem to make much difference. The first time you make it, it might feel like a lot of work, but once you get the system down it's easy. I love the rustic idea of a food mill but who owns one!?! I use an immersion blender.

This is the best tomato soup I have ever eaten, and I am a connoisseur when it comes to tomato soup. Cream is not needed, and since I'm working on becoming 100% vegan, this suits me. Also good with small chunks of red potato added.

This was delicious. The changes I made to this recipe is that I added 2-3 teaspoons of sugar to the tomato mixture during the forty minute simmering time as the plum tomatoes were not sweet enough as it is winter. You will basically have to do this based on your taste and the season of your tomatoes. After it was done simmering, I used my Vitamix blender to blend it all down and returned it back to a clean pot over medium low heat and added 1 cup of heavy cream until warmed through. Serve with fresh shredded basil and large homemade croutons and Parmesan shavings.

amazing! I am lactose intolerant, so I used olive oil and skipped the butter. Also, be careful with the red pepper flakes, I usually add more than needed but the simmering really spices things up.

Pretty good. I added a pinch of sugar and next time I make it I won't put in the red pepper flakes... Or maybe just two flakes. (I'm a woos... it wasn't too salty. Maybe the person that complained that it was used regular salt.
