I made my mom this soup because she was sick, and she loved it! my mom persuaded my dad to try it, even though he heavily dislikes tomatoes, and I was suprised to find that he enjoyed it. I highly rate this recipe!

I used canned tomatoes because they are not in season now and this soup was delicious. I can't wait to try with fresh tomatoes!

Good, but will keep searching for a tomato soup that is more bisque-esque.

This soup is the best. No changes needed. Especially good with garden fresh or frozen tomatoes

I made this recipe tonight but made two substitutions along the way. First, I used two 28oz cans of diced tomatoes because fresh tomatoes in February taste more like wooden table decorations. Next, since I didn't have any celery salt I used celery seed instead. Before adding the rue to the tomato mixture, I used an emersion blender to purée the mix. This was by far THE BEST SOUP I'VE EVER HAD! Great recipe and so easy to make.

Very Awesome soup! The only two things I would change are these: 1- Roasted red pepper added to this is excellent. 2- Using fresh or even canned tomatoes is fine, but I like a smoother consistency in my soups, so I chose to puree it.

I made this soup for our work "Souper Bowl" event. Glad to report that mine was the first one gone of 6 different entries. Delicious soup and so incredibly easy to make. I had 3 fresh tomatoes (it is winter after all) and used those along with home canned tomatoes and a large can of tomato sauce. Eliminated the extra salt, because I truly felt that there was enough in there already. Once everything was cooked to my satisfaction, I did use my immersion blender to make a nice and fairly smooth (left a few chunks for good measure) puree. I also did add some fresh basil along with the dry. Made it last night and warmed slowly in the crockpot at work. Gone by 12:30, it was a hit. Thanks Shorecook for another winner.

Loved it. I did use 5 cans of diced tomatoes and fat free milk since that's what I had on hand, and 2 tbsp frozen basil from last fall's harvest. At the end I transferred it to the blender in small (2-3 cup) batches and got a nice smooth puree out of it.
