Hi! This soup is on the sweet side due to the milk that is added and does not taste full of preservatives like canned soups. It has a home-made taste. If you use fresh tomatoes, it is completely natural!
Made this tonight. Eat your heart out, Campbells! Fantastic and so easy to prepare!
Oh yeah. I love tomato soup with a ton of cheese nips in there. It's sooooo good.
This is on my list of "tries" for recipes. I have one that uses fresh tomatoes, but takes a bit of time (I peel the tomatoes by hand). To have a quick and yummy recipe is the best! Thanks for sharing this!
Hi DinnerMom this recipe has everything my husband loves so will bookmark it for future use. One question though, if you don't have a food processor, how do you proceed is a blender ok? Great hub!
This sounds a lot better than canned tomato soup even though the tomatoes come from a can. Must try it. Thanks!
Lovely recipe. I'm going to try it at the weekend.
My husband loves tomato soup so I'm sure he'll love this! Thanks for the recipe!
do you use fresh tomatoes for your tomato soup? or do you use Campbells?
Hi! I use canned or boxed whole tomatoes for this recipe. When I don't have much time this is a great substitute for fresh. Thanks for reading!

Is it quicker than Campbells? Besides being so quick, what does it taste like?
