One of my favorite soups has tomatoes as a main ingredient but it's not tomato(e) soup per se.
1) cook a cup of dry white beans in water with a garlic clove and a bunch of rosemary (or you can use a can of white beans)
2) sautee a couple of onions in olive oil with some garlic (as much garlic as you want).
3) add water, maybe 8 cups. Put some vegetable bullion in the water.
4) when that gets boiling, turn it down, add a lot of fresh rosemary (or whatever you've got fresh: sage, oregano...but put a lot, maybe 1/2 cup).
5) add the beans and salt and a lot of coarsely ground pepper.
6) when that gets simmering, open up a can of good tomatoes, cut them into large pieces if they're whole, or use chopped ones.
7) let it heat through.
Put a tsp. or so of butter on the top of the bowl when you serve it.
Fantastic.

Tomato Bisque & Cheese Toasts
Serving Size : 2
For the bisque:
2 Tbs. olive oil
1 small onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
3 hearty sprigs fresh thyme
1 can (28 oz.) crushed tomatoes in purée
1-1/2 cups low-salt chicken broth
3 Tbs. honey
1-1/2 tsp. coarse salt; more to taste
1/4 tsp. finely ground black pepper; more to taste
1/3 cup heavy cream
2 Tbs. chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley (optional)
In a medium pot, heat the oil. Add the onion and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until tender and lightly browned on the edges, about 7 min. Add the garlic and thyme; stir until fragrant, about 1 min. Add the tomatoes, broth, honey, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil over high heat.
Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring frequently, until reduced by a quarter and thickened, about 15 min. Using a stand or immersion blender, purée about half the soup; it will be still be chunky and thick. Return it to the pot and stir in the cream. Heat gently and adjust the seasonings. Ladle into bowls, sprinkle with the parsley if using, and serve immediately.
For the toasts:
4 slices country bread, about 1/2 inch thick
1 Tbs. Dijon mustard
4 to 6 slices Gruyère
1 Tbs. grated Parmesan
Arrange an oven rack to the highest rung and heat the broiler on high. Line a baking sheet with foil. Put the bread on the foil and toast each side until golden brown. Spread the mustard evenly on one side of each toast, cover with the Gruyère, and sprinkle with the Parmesan. Slide the toasts back under the broiler and cook until bubbling and lightly browned on top, about 2 min. Cut each toast in half and serve immediately with the soup.

This is my favorite tomato soup recipe:
http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/recipe/0,,FOOD_9936_21123,00.html?rsrc=search
To make it even easier and less ingredients, saute the onions and garlic in olive oil or butter, add dried herbs (red pepper flakes (opt), basil, thyme) and add 2 or 3 cans of plum tomatoes, and simmer for the 40 minutes. You can put it in the blender to make it smooth after it has simmered, be careful though it's hot, then transfer back to the pan or serving bowl.

Don't laugh, but believe it or not, the best tomato soup I've ever made is simply Heinz ketchup and hot water. I mix it to taste, sometimes stronger and sometimes lighter. Sometimes I'll add some cheese and sour cream on top. It's quick, has all the ingredients you need, and you can find sugar-free and low-salt varieties of ketchup. My preference is Heinz, but experiment with others and see what you think. Have fun.
