Excellent recipe. I will say that I had to change a few things (lacking fresh tomatoes), I used a 28oz can of crushed tomatoes in lieu of 4 cups of fresh tomatoes. They are pretty much the same amount. For the seasonings I added celery salt, salt, sugar, small amount of basil, ground cloves, and ground nutmeg. It was all prepared just as the recipe said, roux and all. Grilled cheese always goes well with tomato soup--a little trick I like to throw in is to use more than one kind of cheese, and also throw in some dried thyme for some extra flavor. All things combined, dinner tonight left me in an extremely good mood :)

The soup was good, but I thought the cloves were very over powering, one or two would be sufficient.

This has become a staple at my house. I always double the recipe – it’s just not enough for us for a couple of meals. If your tomatoes are not perfect red or it’s off season, I suggest adding a few tablespoons of tomato paste to add the color. The soup is great as is, but I have experimented adding other things I had on hand e.g. chopped celery root, celery stalk etc … I never run this thru the food mill. I just take a hand blender and blend the whole thing in the pot (take out the cloves before). Why get rid of all the fiber? – it’s good for you. The soup is very good and quick to make – highly recommend it!

Awesome! But, I made adjustments for my situation: having a bountiful tomato garden this year and too many canned tomatoes! I used 1 Quart canned tomatoes instead of the fresh. And, I also cooked 1 cup rice seperately and added to the soup at the end....yummy! Thanks for posting your lovely recipe.

Most tomato soup recipes I have tried are acidic tasting but not this one, it's awesome! When I had fresh tomatoes out of my garden I made several batches and froze them.

I had a surplus of tomatoes this year and decided to try this recipe. I made a few adjustments to make it vegetarian friendly and the result was very yummy! This recipe is a keeper!

i had to change the recipe because of lack of some ingredients. i doulbed the recipe used half chicken and half beef stock. used ground cloves and minced garlic. i did pull the materd and onions out of the stock and pulsed em for a somewhat chunky soup. just eye-balled the rest of the spices and added to taste. a keeper! i'll remember the chix stock for this. bay scallops would rock in this!

I followed the recipe to a T, including the 4 whole cloves, and used an immersion blender instead of a food mill. It came out sensationally! Much better than any canned soup. My boyfriend didn't like the cloves (next time I think I'll take the cloves out before pureeing), but he added some celery salt and dried basil and loves it. Thanks Charlotte!

Very good! I also took the advice of others. I added canned tomatoes since I didn't have any fresh ones. I also added one can of tomato condensed soup, a cup of water and 1 tsp oragano and basil, in addition of 1/2 tsp of cayanne since I like things spicy. I also pureed the tomatoes, garlic and onions after sauteing the garlic and onions and simmering the tomatoes. After the puree, I added the stock, condensed soup and simmered for another 20 minutes. At the very end I added the sugar and about 1/2 cup of milk. Yummy!

I used the recipe for techniques.....I already had homemade canned tomatoes from the garden so all I had to do was open the (5) quart jars and heat them to a boil along with the (2cups)chicken broth....I sauteed a medium onion and a poblano pepper in lots of margarine (1/2c)....I pureed that and then put it back in the pan to add the flour to make the roux.....I added about 3 tbls (a little at a time) of hot tomato/broth mix to the pan of roux and wisked.....I then put that into the big pot of tomato/broth mix (while wisking)....Pureed it one more time to make sure all the pieces were gone.....Tasted and added 2 tbl sugar....May add a can of cheddar cheese soup...haven't decided yet...will wait for more opinions on how this basic tomato soup tastes! Thanks for posting it!

We loved this recipe! My husband said he likes it better than canned tomato soup:) I didn't have whole cloves so I sprinkled ground cloves in it and I think I put too much in it. Thanks Charlotte

Delicious! Like others I used it as a base. I used all of the listed ingredients but substituted a rounded tsp of ground cloves for the whole cloves. Also, I seeded my tomatoes and left skins on. Then I chopped them, the onion and two garlic cloves in a food processor. Cooked as stated then cooled and pureed in blender as I did not want to throw anything away. The only additional ingredient I added was fresh dill. I added the entire sleeve (outside of sleeve reads .66 oz/18 grams). I like the taste of fresh dill and got the idea from another recipe posted on this website.

Normally I don't follow recipes closely but I actually followed the recipe as is and my family enjoyed it. I think next time I would skin the tomatoes, use a little ground clove instead of whole and use a blender instead of a foodmill. There were a few too many seeds in my soup. Another option would be to use less seedy Romas but I used what came from my garden. I made a double recipe and for 3 of us there was little left.

I don't have a food mill so I just put everything in a blender after cooking and added some fresh diced tomatoes to make it chunkier and some fresh basil a few min. before it was done. Also I omitted the cloves because I just don't like them. Everyone LOVED it! Great way to use up fresh tomatoes from the garden!
