Just made this for the first time. ALMOST makes the sudden drop in temperature bearable. Thanks for the great recipe, and even better website!

This soup sounds lovely, the ONLY thing I would change is to add is roasted garlic–then it would be truly sublime!

Hi LB,
Thanks for the nice comment. I hope you enjoy the tomato soup! I love Bread, it is someplace I try to eat at every time I am in NY.

So I just learned about your website today for the first time through DailyCandy. I was immediately intrigued because not only do I love mac and cheese (the featured recipe) but I love to cook and love new recipes. I was poking around on your site and I found this tomato soup recipe, which I also happen to love! I cannot wait to try it…specifically because you mentioned the restaurant BREAD in NYC. I went there this summer and was obsessed and since you say this better than their soup, I will be making this recipe ASAP. I cannot wait to explore your website further because clearly you are Chicago Foodies like me!

Hi Paula! So glad you liked this recipe. It really is a good tomato soup. I would love to eat some of this soup with the corn cakes that are up on your site right now!

I made a tomato soup a long time ago – Rachel Ray’s to be exact – and it was so terrible that I vowed to never make tomato soup again. That recipe, along with so many othera, involve using watered down tomato sauce and lots of heavy cream, resulting in a disgustingly bland soup. This recipe held so much promise that I tried it tonight, and it is indeed, the best tomato soup I’ve ever had. Thank you so much.

I did try this once with fresh tomatoes and did not like it as much. It was a lot more work and the finished soup somehow tasted less tomatoe-y. Perhaps you can try your hand at it and let me know. I removed skins from tomatoes and seeds. I also used more of the fresh tomatoes than the canned to try to compensate for some of the lost puree/flavor. Good luck!

This was delicious! I stumbled upon your Web site when looking for the tomato soup recipe I had seen in Cooks Illustrated. Made this for a group of friends and everyone loved it – followed the recipe exactly and made with the parmesan toasts on Italian bread.

I made this for dinner tonight. I accidentally dropped in more than a pinch of allspice. Oops. I will definitely be more careful with the allspice next time. But besides that mix up it was delicious. Everyone loved it (4 year old, 7 year old, pregnant mama, and husband who doesn’t usually like tomato soup). I served it with Panini grilled cheese. Yum!

Funny, the Nordstrom cafe soup is one of my favorites. So I will definitely have to try this…
