I know everyone has rated this a 5 star already, but its excellent. I found I needed to add a good amount of salt to taste it, and I went ahead and added basil, and the sour cream right to the pot instead of individual bowls. I also blended it all together (instead of straining); don't think it makes much of a difference. REALLY good.

This is a great recipe, but so much depends on the quality of the ingredients. The first time I made this, I used fresh tomatoes, peppers & basil from a nearby farm. It was the best tomato soup I've ever had, fantastic plain, or with added wild rice. I've made it since using produce from the grocery store, and haven't been as impressed--the flavor lacks the dimension fresh produce gives. It's still a great soup, but do it justice and buy fresh produce!

Excellent soup! I added a little bacon and Smoked Gouda cheese (trying to replicate a soup served at a local cafe) - it turned out excellent! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!

I have had so many complements on this soup and I never have left overs, even when I double the recipe. I also add cooked tortellini once the soup starts to simmer. It's a big hit.--Denise--

I made this delicious soup for lunch today with a few alterations. I used a jar of roasted red peppers, 1 clove minced garlic, 1 large (28 oz) can of tomatoes, and added 1 can of evaporated milk to the roux instead of the sour cream at the end (just to use what I had in my pantry. Hate running to the store for 1 thing. ) My husband and I really enjoyed this soup. I am sure it is probably even better with fresh veggies. I will be making this again very soon. Next time, I will puree the veggies before adding the chicken stock, etc. to reduce the time needed and to speed up the process for a busy weeknight meal.

This is an excellent soup!! I felt like a professional chef after serving a soup like this. I made a different soup every day this week, and this was our favorite one. To make it even more healthy, I left out the sour cream and added 1 1/2 cup of milk to the roux before mixing it in with the rest of the soup. It's standard procedure in a lot creamy soup recipes, and it worked great with this one.

this is SO good - and it's not even done cooking yet! my husband and i can't stop tasting it! i have tried many soup recipies and they usually turn out just so-so or not very good. this one has so much flavor! (the only reason i did not give it 5 stars is b/c it does take a lot of effort.)

Loved the recipe- did not take the 1 hr 40 min to make. I rushed the simmering steps and completed the process in about 30 min. I also substituted canned tomatoes, but used fresh roasted red peppers, I also added brown sugar and extra red pepper- it had a great kick!

Chose this because of all the fresh tomatoes and peppers available right now. This is a winner! I did use 2 red, 1 yellow and 1 orange bell because that's what I had. Followed the rest exactly. Hubby loves it too!

I had some tomatoes and bell peppers in the fridge that I needed to use and did an ingredient search and this is what came up. What a treat!! I used a wand blender directly in the pot. Otherwise, followed the recipe to a tee. Excellent soup!

I didn't make any changes to this recipe. Asides from a small accident with a blender (an explosion really) everything went well. The soup tasted great but was missing something to put it over the top. I would reccomend this recipe to any lover of tomato soup.

Yummy. We added tabasco sauce and garnished with whole yogurt and green onions for a healthy twist. Very easy and flavourful. Will definitely make again.

I didn't read the recipe properly and it still turned out great. I used canned tomaotes as others suggested, no sour cream but used natural yogurt, a great soup. Thanks.

This tasted like a soup you would get at a nice restaurant, with a lovely hue. Based on other reviews, I used 4 red peppers and in place of fresh tomatoes (which are terrible this time of year, at least here) I used 2 (14 oz) cans of diced, peeled tomatoes. I also did not reserve a pepper for use later. People here at work that tasted it loved it as well. Despite the effort (most of which is in the cooking time), this will be a soup I readily will make again. In the future, I may or may not continue to use the roux (this time I did use it), but it looked ready to go without the roux being necessary. Thanks, Carol!

This is AWESOME! A lot of work, but worth it. Next time I'll use canned tomatoes as others have said (especially since the fresh tomatoes in winter aren't even all that flavorful). Thanks Carol Crane!
