This soup was very easy to make, but I would have preferred it with more aromatic herbs. I added crumbled bleu cheese to each bowl, and it really added a great level of salt with some additional depth of flavor. Next time I will probably incorporate some peppers for heat and perhaps some cilantro and citrus to give this a little something extra. Overall this is a very good dish and very easy to prepare.

Finally found a good homemade tomato soup recipe! Very delicous! I used my own tomatoes from the garden and therefore lessened the amount of chicken broth (my tomatoes were watery)to about 3 cups. The chicken broth was lower sodium so ended up using a bit more salt and pepper at the end for taste and also threw in some red pepper flakes. I also used evaporated milk because I didn't have any heavy cream on hand. Very yummy. Will definitely make this again!

Absolutely delicious! We had only 1 can of fire-roasted tomatoes left from our last trip to the States, the other was plain diced. Also, used milk rather than cream. Healthier. Still rich and awesome! Will make as soon as we can get our hands on more fire-roasted tomatoes! Could be a while...

Mmm Mmm good? It was better than that! I've been looking for a recipe like this for a while, and am glad I found this one. I don't like tomato soup that comes from a can. And this was really good. I made this recipe exactly as written with the exception of one thing. I added 1/2 teaspoon of ground red pepper at the end, for a little bit of heat. Just a personal preference. Either way, this one's a winner! Thanks for posting.

Excellent soup! I'm not really big on tomato soup, but this is fantastic! Even my husband loved it...he was even bragging about it at work the next day! Next time I will double it so we have plenty of leftovers!

Great recipe!! I did make a few changes, due to ingredients I had in the pantry! I used petite diced tomatoes instead, and half & half. Also, I had just run out of nutmeg, so I added basil and italian seasoning for the spice. Served this with some grilled cheese, and it made for a wonderful lunch on a cold fall afternoon!

I made changes based on recipes I've had success with in the past. First, I didn't add butter but used olive oil; next, no sugar; then, I halved, seeded and left unpeeled 16 plum tomatoes, sprinkled olive oil over and slow roasted for 2 hours in the oven to concentrate the flavor. Unroasted, the plums have very little sweet flavor, but roasted brings out the starches, which are more abundant than round tomatoes and really develop in the roasting process. I added a little dry sherry (about 2 Tbsps.), and left out the cream. Before serving, I added a dollop of sweet Devonshire cream to each filled bowl. All the spices were right on and I wouldn't have normally used nutmeg, so thanks! It turned out great!

I loved it! It reminds me of Paradise tomato soup. Even my 5 yr old liked dipping his grilled cheese into it. And he never likes ANY soup.

This was FANTASTIC! The only changes I made were to include the juice from the diced tomatoes, I put in a handful of basil in the end, and pureed the entire batch. I also put 1/2 cup of half and half. The results were phenomenal will make again and again!!

It was wonderful! I added an extra carrot and added a whole pint of cream. Next time I will puree the whole batch. I did add the nutmeg. This definately a keeper.

Very good soup. I left out the nutmeg because I'm not a fan of that spice, but my family really liked this soup along with a grilled cheese sandwich.

I would've liked for this to be creamier, but otherwise very tasty. It probably could've benefited from some more seasoning like basil.

Absolutely delicious! I used a pinch of ground cinnamon as opposed to the nutmeg (too expensive at my local grocery store!). I also skipped the blender step (I like it a bit chunkier, even if it defeats the purpose of making a bisque :)). I served it with grilled cheese. Will definitely make again :)

This recipe was amazing and i doubled the recipe to feed all 3 of my guy roommates. There are some suggestions though, i made it vegan so no buttermilk, butter, or chicken stock. Instead i chose the healthier route and used vegetable stock and Earth Balance butter (vegetable oil essentially). I also added rosemary, basil, black pepper, sriracha, sea salt, and cayenne pepper because everyone in my house loves it spicy. I blended the mix to really bring out the flavors of the spices and it came out great the rosemary bread that i made

For those that are having trouble finding "fire roasted diced tomatoes" I found them in the healthy/organic section of our grocery store. I however went the cheaper route and used zesty diced tomatoes with green chilis. Probably one can of that and one of regular would be good because it was a little spicy, but still good!
