If you have a recipe for good tomato soup, I would love to try it! Please share! I can Google it all day long, but I trust tried-and-true Farmgirl recipes before I will try something random that Google comes up with!

If you want a thickener, I would suggest using Corn Starch or ArrowRoot Powder. That should add some bulk without changing the taste!

Ok-- I tried the soup from tomato juice, as recommended by Judith, and added cream and basil, onion and garlic and celery salt. . .The taste was AMAZING, but it was just a little on the thin side. Any ideas to thicken it up? I was hesitant to start adding other things, as no one's recipes had any thickeners listed. Great suggestions on the flavors-- they were just right!

Wow! They all sound so good. Thanks for the responses. I will try one for dinner tonight. It's overcast today and feels like a good grilled cheese and tomato soup night. :) Perfect! Thanks!!

i recently made the tomato basil soup from sandra lee's "semi-homemade" show on the food network... it was really good!
one slight alteration... she makes 'quick' food sometimes and this is one recipe i would let simmer awhile after adding the vermouth... cook more of the alcohol taste out and give it a real homemade flavor... let us know which ones you tried and how they were!

I made the creamy tomatoe soup and italian sausage patti melts that Rachel Ray made on 30 minute meals last week. They were both fantastic. I would make 2 suggestions though - cook the onion a little bit before you add it to the soup and instead of making the watercress pesto I bought some premade basil pesto in a jar and added a little dollup to each bowl before serving! It was EXCELLENT! The patti melts are delicious too! HEre is a link

This is what I like to do for tomato soup. Saute some onion and celery and garlic in butter or olive oil (you can also add green peppers if you like). Add canned tomatoes, either home canned or store bought. I like to can my tomatoes as juice, that way they are ready to go for spaghetti sauce, chile, stew, or soup. Heat thoroughly. Use a stick blender to puree the onions/celery/garlic/whole tomatoes. Once pureed, add cream to taste. I don't usually salt things, but do add black pepper to taste. You can also add basil for a (currently popular) tomato-basil bisque.
Enjoy!

i cook up my maters, puree them, add some veggie stock and celery salt and whatever other spices I am feeling, a little bit of powdered milk and cook away. There is no real recipe or science behind it. The fam. loves it.
