I really liked the fire roasted tomato taste. First time making a tomato soup from scratch. I had a lot of fresh purple basil growing in planter and was looking for recipes that used basil. Would probably add a bit more next time and maybe more garlic too. I added a chopped jalapeno pepper without seeds and it added some kick.

When my kids told me they wanted me to make tomato basil soup I cringed,knowing it would take a while to make. But when I saw Sandra Lees recipe I knew it would be fast, easy and good. I didn't have the roasted can tomatoes so I just roasted the regular can tomatoes in a 9x13 pan in the oven under broil & sprinkled them with a little salt. I also sauteed the onions until they caramelized a bit.Instead of using the vermouth I just used 1 cup of chicken broth. I blended it and let it sit for about 30 minutes, turned off. I also substituted 1/2 and 1/2 for the cream and added a teaspoon of dried basil. It was delicious and my kids loved it. !!

I bought all the ingredients, fresh basil, roasted tomatoes in the can, cream, etc. Cooked according to directions. There was only one thing missing in the end product: taste. Bland, tasteless, what a waste of time. So I added salt, lemon juice, orzo, nothing helped. I'm disappointed in many food network recipes, usually it's Paula Deen. Someone should test these recipes before they go on TV. Try it on the camera guys. Bet they wouldn't eat it!

Don't know what I did wrong, but this didn't come out even remotely like hers. Practically all liquid and not any consistency at all.

What a great recipe! I did leave out the vermouth and added more broth as Karen suggested. I double the recipe and freeze the leftovers.

This recipe was very good. I added red pepper flakes and I took out the vermouth and I added more broth. Very flavorful!

5/1/10: This was easy and fast. It took me a while to find ?Fire Roasted? (Hunts diced tomatoes, but it was worth the wait. Next time I?ll simmer it longer so it much more condensed, then I?ll try using fat-free Half & Half vs. the cream. I?m sure the cream is much better, but I need to cut back my calories, etc. Thank you Sandra!

I like how easy this soup is to make... but I did use fresh onions, doubled the garlic and added 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes which gives it some kick. I'd probably add grated carrots like one reviewer did to tone down the acidity a bit. I have made it w/ a jar of roasted red peppers when I didn't have 3 cans of organic fire-roasted tomatoes and I like that too. In short, a good base recipe to do your own thing with!
