I made this tonight and the flavor was delicious. I forgot to add in the water, oops! I did use an emersion blender, but I could not get the soup smooth. I then tried a regular blender and still could not get it smooth. Was yours? I guess I expected it to be so was surprised that there was a little texture.
Oops…immersion not emersion!
My daughter and I just finished making a double batch of this soup. It is absolutely delicious. We are going to freeze most of it in pint and quart containers. We will give some to my 85-y/o dad, who’s in assisted living but is with the program enough to be able to dump some frozen soup into a 1 1/2 quart slow cooker and heat it up, and loves tomato soup. We will also give some to my daughter’s best friend, who is a nursing student in a very demanding program and also loves tomato soup. We don’t keep a vegetable garden here due to the number of marauding critters in the area, but we found a good deal on Roma tomatoes at Aldi a few days ago, and I do plant herbs every spring so the basil and parsley were straight out of the garden. Thank you so much for the inspiration. This recipe is definitely a keeper.
My second glutch of tomatoes basil and parsley from the garden, here’s hoping that next year’s soup includes home grown carrots minion and garlic, no juice needed yummy
It was so delicious. It was good I used fresh lemon juice instead
It was so good and hearty I used fresh lemon juice
Sorry I meant to put 5 stars
Hi, I found this when looking for a tomato basil soup recipe and made it this morning. I didn’t have chicken stock, so I used the one cup of homemade shrimp stock I had with three cups of water. To make up for lack of stock I put in a few celery stalks and extra fresh herbs- a few sprigs of thyme and a couple sage leaves. Plus salt and pepper. It turned out really well. The rest of my family said it was an A plus. Thanks a lot!
The devil is in the details as they say…..
Love the tip for the herbs.
Looks great.
Can’t wait to try it.
I do not have an immersion blenders. I do have an old electric hand mixer. Will that work?
I am getting ready to make it for the second time. The first time I made it my husband reminded me that he doesn’t like tomato soup. I love it, so I forged on. Guess who not only tasted the soup, but had seconds and asked for more the next night! It was super easy and was delicious. (And quick to make). I used regular tomatoes I had in the frig. This time I am using Roma tomatoes. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe.
Can you use canned tomatoes?
