I'm so glad I tried this recipe... simple to make, fresh tasting and yummy! I used a 12-oz can of V-8, one whole tomato, some minced garlic and a teaspoon of sugar. I plan to use this recipe often, and blend in whatever veggies I have on hand.

This was fantastic and so easy! I added garlic, dried basil, and some cream. I also used spicy V8 which gave it a great kick.

I give this recipe three stars for ease of preparation. I doubled the recipe; put all of the ingredients in my Vitamix and I had piping hot soup in six minutes. As for taste, it is sorely missing something. I added some basil but even that didn’t help. Probably won’t be making this again.

Absolutely delightful! So much better tasting than the canned stuff, which is loaded with sugar, starch, and salt. I disagree with those who found it flavorless or bland. This is a celebration of the simple, glorious flavor of burstingly ripe tomatoes, period. Very low in calories and naturally fat free. Heart-healthy stuff, with a nice dose of lycopene and vitamin C galore! The second time I made this, I put in a dab, about 1/2 tsp, of Minor's chicken base, which couldn't be tasted exactly, but which lent a nice depth of flavor, and salted it just right. Additionally, I like to peel and seed the tomatoes before I blend them, as I find both to be a detraction. What you taste is exactly what you get, uncomplicated and wholesome.

This is a good idea but lacks flavor. I think adding some garlic with a bit of olive oil to start and some Italian seasonings might help it a lot. It is easy and fast. I used my mini food processor for the onion and tomato and then as I was cooking it occurred to me that I could use an immersion hand blender.

Wonderful! Easy to make and tastes great. The only thing I did different was add garlic as others had recommended.

So so-so! I perked it up with a splash of cider vinegar, a pinch of sugar, a spot of minced garlic, and a nice dash of pepper sauce. Makes the sharp cheese and crusty baguette the perfect trio!
