CooksIllustrated.com, my favorite recipe site has this delicious sounding soup:


Ultimate Cream of Tomato Soup


Written: 11/1999
Make sure to use canned whole tomatoes that are not packed in puree; you will need some of the juice to make the soup.

Makes about 5 1/2 cups 2 (28 ounce) cans whole tomatoes (not packed in puree), drained, 3 cups juice reserved, tomatoes seeded
1 1/2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 large shallots , minced
1 tablespoon tomato paste
Pinch ground allspice
2 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
1 3/4 cups chicken stock or canned low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons brandy or dry sherry
Table salt
cayenne pepper

Peanut Butter Cookies



1. Adjust oven rack to upper-middle position and heat oven to 450 degrees; line jelly-roll pan or rimmed cookie sheet with foil. Spread tomatoes in single layer on foil, and sprinkle evenly with brown sugar. Bake until all liquid has evaporated and tomatoes begin to color, about 30 minutes. Let tomatoes cool slightly, then peel them off foil; transfer to small bowl and set aside.

2. Heat butter over medium heat in medium nonreactive saucepan until foaming; add shallots, tomato paste, and allspice. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until shallots are softened, 7 to 10 minutes. Add flour and cook, stirring constantly, until thoroughly combined, about 30 seconds. Whisking constantly, gradually add chicken stock; stir in reserved tomato juice and roasted tomatoes. Cover, increase heat to medium, and bring to boil; reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, to blend flavors, about 10 minutes.

3. Strain mixture into medium bowl; rinse out saucepan. Transfer tomatoes and solids in strainer to blender; add 1 cup strained liquid and puree until smooth. Add remaining reserved liquid.

4. Return the pureed mixture to the saucepan, add cream, and heat over low heat until hot, about 3 minutes. Off heat, stir in brandy or sherry; season to taste with salt and cayenne, and serve immediately.

To Make Ahead
This soup can be prepared through step 3, cooled, covered, and refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months. Reheat over low heat before proceeding with step 3.

I use campbells tomato soup too and a sure way to get it really creamy would be to mix it with 3/4 fresh milk and 1/4 water....DELICIOUS! You can even throw in some dice tomatos to make it chunky...

Answer 4

Creamy Tomato Soup

2 tsp olive oil
2 medium leek(s), finely chopped (white part only)

56 oz canned diced tomatoes
12 oz fat-free evaporated milk

1/8 tsp table salt, or more to taste
1/8 tsp black pepper, freshly ground, or to taste

Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add leeks and garlic; cook until soft, about 2 minutes. Add oregano; cook 1 minute. Add tomatoes and bring to a simmer; partially cover pan and simmer 5 minutes.

Puree soup in pan using an immersion blender. Or working in batches, transfer tomato mixture to a blender and puree until smooth (careful not to splatter hot liquid); return pureed tomato mixture to pan.

3/4 tsp garlic powder (for this and onion powder, buy the best)

Answer 6

I usually just use canned tomato soup and milk instead of water.

Answer 7

Campbell's! ... the ingredients are on the label.

Otherwise a puree is very good.

Mash up fresh tomatoes to pulp and then do it again.
Force whats left through a strainer cloth.
heat slow and add what you like...spices and glutton to thicken.

yummy I agree it is great
