Awesome! I did make some alterations, though. This reminds me of a soup I used to get at a vegetarian Vietnamese restaurant in Louisville, KY and I have been searching for a similar recipe for years! I sliced the onion in thin rings and did not puree the soup-I prefer a thin broth with chunky tomato and onion pieces. Soooo gooood!!!

This was great. I took the advice of some other reviewers and added a little half and half to make it creamy. It was fantastic.

This is the best tomato soup I ever had! The only change I made was to use italian diced tomatoes. No more can tomato soup for me!

good soup, but I made a couple of changes. First, it didn't have enough dill, so I doubled that, and I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. I made one more big change because I wanted it to be richer. I added 1/2 cup of half and half. I think next time I might try heavy cream next time. for the tomatoes, if you have half of them be diced and the other half be crushed, there isn't a need to puree it.

The soup has been a hit! I double the amount of garlic and add 1tbs of fresh dill on top of the dried dill for more flavour.

I'm giving this recipe 5 stars because it is incredibly simple (my 10-year old made it) and it has remarkable flavour. No more canned tomato soup to have with grilled cheese! I made it exactly as the recipe said, and it was brilliant.

Excellent recipe and tastes great with grilled cheese on a cold day! I always make this when my friends are sick and they love it.

I waitress at a restaurant that also makes this same soup. It's just as good as the one we serve. Super easy and yummy. My boyfriend wanted some protein in the soup so I chopped up a piece of sausage and threw it in there. He loved it! Thanks for the great recipe. I will definitely be making this one again.

I did not like this as a soup, way too thick and the texture wasn't right for me. I did however use the leftovers as a pasta sauce and it was better in that form.

I used this recipe as the base for a delicious tomato soup, but I used lots of fresh tomatoes as well as canned ones, as well as fresh dill weed. After cooking it and putting it in the food processor, I added some plain yogurt and heavy cream to make a creamy tomato dill soup. It is delicious!

only a little good. The way it is written it is way to salty and I love salt. Maybe the use of fresh tomatoes would help with that. It was better with a little cream and cheese added to it.

I loved this soup. Forgot to take out the bay leaf before blending it (oops). So besides the little pieces of bay leaf, I thought the texture and flavor were great.

I made this several days ago to get rid of some overripe tomatoes. Just now have gotten around to tasting it. Good. It is not wowing me like the other reviewers but maybe it is because I do not like tomato soup in general. Thought this lended itself to being a cold soup since this is July.

This soup is fantastic; I have made it many times and have passed along this recipe to many friends, who also rave about this simple-to-make soup. I make triple batches of this soup in a slow cooker and freeze individual servings. This soup does freeze well and it's a real treat to have on a cold day. Fresh-tasting and hearty, this soup makes a terrific low fat and nutritious meal with some whole wheat crackers or warm crusty bread. I have found that using butter, instead of margarine, brings the soup to a new dimension.
