Lots of tomatoes? Why not make this for supper...

We were given a lot of tomatoes recently so I'm making one of our favorite soups for supper tonight. I thought this was a good chance to re-post one of FIMBY's most popular recipes from the archives.

This soup is, hands-down, one of my family's favorite meals. Laurent, who doesn't even eat raw tomatoes, requested it for his birthday supper one year!

Here's the thing with my recipe. It's more of a suggested list of ingredients with an approximate cooking time, than it is an exact recipe. I'm never good at exact measuring or following recipes to the letter, which is why many of meals I cook are somewhat "experimental". 

Lucky for you, in this case I've done most of the experimenting and you can tweak and refine according to your family's tastes.

    Renee, this is now a family favorite.  My husband loves for us to make it when we have people over - he thinks it's "fancy".  :)  We've never served it to anyone who didn't absolutely love it.  Thank you again!

      Oh, I'm so happy your family likes it. We ate ours with rice cakes last night (not so fancy) but it's been awhile since I've made it and was reminded how much I love the flavor of this soup.

    This sounds really good.  Tomatoes aren't doing that well this year though where I am- we have mostly had fall-like weather for summer- cool and rainy.  But I would like to try this sometime.
