this looks so good and like an easy recipe! I made soup one time and used a blender since I didn't have an immersion blender, which I found also works well!

Back when I was a kid I remember dreading tomato soup days...something about that soup in a can that did absolutely nothing for me. It never occurred to me to make it homemade and this recipe really does sound so fresh from the garden dreamy. Maybe even use it as a sauce for pasta too and add spinach and Parmesan. Yum!
