Well, here's a Vegan recipe:
TOMATO BASIL SOUP
1 1/2 cups onions, diced
1 T. olive oil
1 T. garlic, minced
4 cups vegetable stock or water
1 - 28 oz. can crushed tomatoes
2 T. tomato paste
3/4 cup frozen peas, thawed
1/3 cup orzo pasta (or star-shaped or other small shaped pasta)
1 T. unbleached cane sugar (or white sugar from sugar beets)
3/4 t. salt
1/2 t. freshly ground black pepper
2 cups spinach, triple washed, destemmed, and roughly chopped
1/2 cup freshly chopped basil
3 T. freshly chopped Italian parsley
garnish: soy parmesan cheese or nutritional yeast flakes
In a large stock pot, saute the diced onion in the olive oil for 5 minutes to soften. Add the garlic and saute an additional 2 minutes. Add the vegetable stock, crushed tomatoes, and tomato paste, stir well, and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce to medium heat, add the peas, orzo pasta, sugar, salt, and pepper, and cook for 5-7 minutes or until the pasta is al dente. Add the spinach and fresh herbs and simmer the soup an additional 2 minutes to allow the flavors to blend and the spinach to wilt. Taste and adjust seasonings, as needed. Garnish individual servings with a little soy parmesan cheese or nutritional yeast flakes, if desired.
And here's a Vegetarian recipe:
TOMATO SOUP
INGREDIENTS
4 large tomatoes, preferably organic (or several more smaller ones)
1 red capsicum
1 medium onion, chopped quite finely
4 cloves garlic, chopped or pressed
4 sun-dried tomatoes (or 1 T tomato puree)
Generous pinches of basil, rosemary and thyme
2 bay leaves
1 level T sugar
2 T lemon juice
Salt and black pepper to taste
Olive oil
1 T paprika (optional, enhances the colour)
Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional, gives it a bit more 'bite')
Pre-heat your oven to maximum temperature. Roughly chop the tomatoes and pepper, then arrange on a baking tray. Sprinkle them with salt, pepper and herbs, then drizzle with olive oil. Roast for about half an hour.
Meanwhile, gently fry the onion and garlic in a little olive oil or margarine for about 10 mins, then top up with about 300 ml / 10 oz of boiling water and add the sun-dried tomatoes (or tomato puree), the bay leaves, lemon juice, spices (if using) and sugar. Simmer for about 15 mins.
Remove the bay leaves and then hoik the sun-dried tomatoes and most of the onion out using one of those nifty spoons with holes in. Transfer to a blender and whizz for a minute.
By this time the stuff in the oven should be nicely roasted. Add it, oil and all to the blender and whizz for a bit longer, then pour this mixture back into the soup pan and give it a good stir. Can be served with a pretentious swirl of soy milk in it if you like.
I hope these help you!!! Happy Cooking!

FRESH ROASTED TOMATO SOUP
1 1/2 pounds ripe plum tomatoes
5 tablespoons olive oil
2 minced garlic cloves
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled
1/4 teaspoon dried basil, crumbled
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup dry red wine
3/4 cup heavy cream

Sugar to taste, if needed
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese, optional
Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Halve tomatoes lengthwise and lay them cut sides down in a jelly-roll pan. Brush generously with 3 tablespoons oil and sprinkle with garlic, oregano, basil, and pepper. Roast tomatoes until their edges are charred, about 15 to 20. Scrape tomatoes, oil, and herbs from pan into food processor. Process until not quite smooth (leaving small chunks and charred black specks).
In a saucepan cook onion in remaining 2 tablespoons oil until translucent. Whisk in roasted tomato puree, broth, and wine. Then whisk tomato paste. Heat the cream and whisk in to the tomato mixture. Taste and add sugar if necessary. Stir in optional Parmesan. Add salt and pepper to taste and bring soup to a simmer
