EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Fully ripe, juicy tomatoes provide the best flavor in this soup. If your tomatoes aren’t completely ripe, you may need to increase the salt and sugar just a bit.

3 cans (14.5 oz each) diced tomatoes, undrained, can be substituted for the fresh tomatoes. Omit salt; increase sugar to 1 teaspoon.

In the winter months when fresh tomatoes aren't readily available, I use canned fire roasted tomatoes with basil and garlic. It still gives you the chunks of great tomato and tastes wonderful! My husband tends to not "like" chunky tomato soup but has requested this time and time again, so much so that I make a double batch and freeze it.

This is an absolute must for any Gardener who has fresh tomatoes and basil. I'm always looking for ways to use tomatoes. I had this with grilled cheese sandwiches and the soup was all gone. You really don't even need the sugar or salt unless you like it sweet. This is a keeper.

This recipe is terrific, so very easy to make. I didnt have fresh tomatos so I used canned, had to use dried basil instead of fresh but it still turned out great! I'm not a big fan of tomato soup, the only reason I looked up this recipe was to make the zucchini & hambuger casserole which call for 1 can of tomato basil soup but I didn't want to make a special trip to town so I thought I'd give it a try. I'm glad I did, it's a keeper! This recipe would be a 5 if I was able to use fresh tomatos & basil.
