Too much salt in my opinion. 1 tablespoon is plenty. Delicious otherwise!

Just made the soup today. So yummy. I decided to skin the tomatoes but did not remove the seeds. Also left it chunky. It was very gratifying to recieve so much praise this evening for my homemade tomato soup. People went back for seconds and thirds.

Thank you for such a brilliant recipe. I loved how simple the ingredients are; Directions and pictures were very easy to follow. Watching the vegetables break down was so amazing especially with all the beautiful colors. The soup was fabulous.
I added 8oz silken tofu at the end to give a little protein. Paired wil crusty bread with Harvati cheese took my favorite comfort meal to a knew level.
Thank you.

This sounds delicious ! You could perhaps call it tomato vegetable soup if you didn’t strain it or put it through a blender. I would like the vegetables through the soup too.

This was wonderful. I made it and then lost the recipe and was frantic. Now I’m back again. I have 16# of tomatoes waiting to be made into soup and canned. Thanks for sharing.

This recipe looks and sounds yummmy!!I cook a lot with tomatoes making stew with it…and the way i do it is, i chop up the tomatoes put in a bowl sprinkle some salt to welted and then cover the top and put it in the sun for a while so it can be easy to squeeze on a colander the heat from the sun gives it a good flavor and makes it soft too, if there is no sun just heat it up on a stove. this for those that don’t have a blender you can use this method.

As I mentioned below, I used parsley flakes (they’re in a similar vegetable/herb family as celery), and it was great! Also, sweeter radishes have been a great substitute in other soup recipes. Maybe add some extra stock to make up for the lack of celery water-juice in the recipe.

This was incredibly delicious with my fresh garden tomatoes and onions! I didn’t have any celery on hand, so instead I just used a tablespoon of parsley flakes, which added a really nice depth to the flavor anyway. LOVED your recipe, thank you! Can’t wait to try the marinara sauce.
