I just made this soup today. It was very easy and a tasty tomato soup. My husband likes Tomato soup although I have never really been fond of it myself. The only comment I would like to make is that it was not as creamy as I thought it would be and that may be because I was using 2% milk. I think the next time I will try half and half. We are going to have it again tomorrow with Challa bread. Thanks for the experience.

Great recipe, my 4 year old daughter loved it. I did modify it just a little...I used 3 hand fulls of spinach, 1 can of italian diced tomatos and 1 can of regular diced tomatos (blended in the blender), spices and lots of parmesan cheese (2 hand fulls, maybe). I completly forgot the milk. Great taste and flavor...froze left overs. WILL make again!!!

I'm a complete beginner and this soup turned out really well. I followed the directions (for the most part) but I'm thinking about added the milk at the end next time as some of the reviewers recommended because I did have a bit of curdling.

Wow amazing, i made this last night, enough for eight people and Ive frozen it in individual portions, this will be really useful after a long day at work and i want something quick and easy for the evening meal. Mine also curdled a bit, my fault for not following earlier advice on this site. But by the time i stick blended it, it was fine. Not the same colour as the pic but this could be due to the spinach and blending it all together. Not that any of that matters, lovely healthy soup.x

Yummy! I made the soup using fresh tomato sauce I had made from our garden (which had bits of carrots and celery in it already). I sauteed the onions and garlic (I doubled the garlic) and then pureed the whole thing as smoothly as I could get it. I didn't have fresh spinach so I used frozen spinach (drained really well). I made a white pizza with a little of the leftover spinach and used the soup as a dipper. It was absolutely fantastic! This is a keeper!

This was a great base recipe to work off of. I went heavy on the Spinach (to up the nutrition for my 3 kids 3yrs and under), doubled/tripled the garlic, used Italian Seas since I didn't have fresh basil, browned the onions in butter then added garlic, added 1/2 cup Chicken Broth and 1/2 cup parmesan (we love cheese here!), and then crushed red pepper for my husband and I. I used the immersion blender before adding the Spinach since my kids can't eat chunky soup (or drink as it is through their straws!). Served it with seasoned croutons on top and grilled cheese to dip. Yummy! Thanks for the idea!

I love this soup. I too put it in the blender and that worked well. I made it exactly like the recipe said and will definitely make it again.

This recipe took me by surprise. I have been cooking for over 60 years and I made this and coudn't stop eating it. It was wonderful. A suggestion for others is to use a hand blender toget reid of the chunks of onion, but I liked the chuncks. The hand blender is easy to use and does a good job

I followed the recipe and this tastes like warm tomato puree. It was very thick. I thinned it with a cup of chicken broth. Perhaps will be be better today? Not a winner in my book...

This soup is great with or without the spinach. Just don't leave out the "Fresh Basil" I also minced the onions, and pureed the soup before adding the spinach. I will be making this recipe over and over. You don't need all that heavy cream to make a delicious soup, and this recipe proves it!

delicious! i liked that it was still a nice hearty soup! i made the tomato puree from scratch (mostly just peeled, seeded and blended up 6-7 tomatoes) and added more garlic ( a small bulb of local garlic). the garlic was not too overpowering it was sweet and tasty. also i added 1 teapoon of sugar instead of a tablespoon. added a mixture of fresh and dried basil since basil isn't really in season right now. i served with a french baguette my boyfriend and i loved it :) nice hearty soup

I thought this was ok, I wish it was a little more tomato flavored. I blended it all to make a more creamy texture overall

Really good. I don't do dairy so I used Rice Milk, didn't include the sugar (don't like sweet soups). I also used tomato paste because that was all I had. I did have to add Organic Free Range chicken broth because it was so thick, probably about a cup, or so. I blended before the spinach and spices, and added croutons (but don't need them). I'm thinking of using 1/2 an onion and a little more garlic next time. It was really good and a great winter soup.

You have to add milk last... never boil any cream in a soup like this. That is why it has curdled on some people. After everything has cooked down...onions, spinach, spices then add milk and stir in off heat. Not sure how it keeps in fridge for a month with the milk as an ingredient.

Just made this and it was very nice. Made as noted except without spinach as I did not have any handy. I did not have puree in the pantry so I used a 29 oz can of Hunt's Organic tomato sauce. I also used FF milk and did not find the sauce think at all. I served with a sprinkle of parm and homemade sundried tomato rosmary bread.
