This is a really delicious recipe! Per other reviewers suggestions, I diced the onions finely and sauteed them for a few more minutes. Other than that, I followed the recipe exactly. It came out sooo yummy. I topped each bowl with freshly grated parmesan and served it with toasted sourdough bread.

This recipie wasn't as quick as the directions stated, but still didn't take a long time to cook. The recipie was a hit....except next time I will chop the onion into smaller pieces or cook them longer, they ended up as chunks in the soup. Overall a good spin on tomato soup.
