@bargainsgirl I like my tomato soup very smooth like Campbells Tomato Soup. The "homemade" versions I've personally seen had "lumps." A turn off for me.

I make a creamy tomato soup:

5 tbsp butter

1 tbsp vegetable oil

1 cup chopped onions

1 28-oz can tomato puree

1/2 tsp basil

1/4 tsp thyme

3 tbsp flour

1 15-oz can chicken broth

1/4 tsp baking soda

2 tbsp sugar

1 12-oz can evaporated milk

1/2 tsp salt

Heat butter and oil in big saucepan. Saute onions until softened, about 10 minutes. Stir in puree, basil, thyme, and a couple shakes of pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes.

Whisk flour and broth in small bowl until smooth. Stir into soup. Cover and bring to slow simmer for 25 minutes, stir occasionally.

Over low heat, stir in baking soda, sugar, milk, and salt.

Tomato-Basil Soup

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 cup chopped onion

1 can (14 1/2 oz) diced tomatoes with basil, garlic

and oregano

1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce

1 cup vegetable broth

1 teaspoon sugar

8-10 fresh basil leaves, shredded or 1 teaspoon dried basil

4 ozs. cream cheese

salt and pepper to taste

Heat oil over medium-high heat in Dutch oven or soup pot.

Add chopped onion; cook for 1 minute stirring often. Add diced tomatoes with the juice, tomato sauce, vegetable broth and sugar. Cover and bring to a boil.

Meanwhile, if using fresh basil, stack leaves and roll tightly; cut in thin shreds. Add 1 tablespoon to soup and coarsely chop remaining basil and set aside for garnish, if desired.

Cut cream cheese into 1" cubes and add to soup. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes until cheese melts. Uncover pot and whisk the soup to incorporate the cream cheese.

Serve when it has heated thoroughly.

(Recipe serves 4 but easy to double for more,)

Homemade tomato soup is the easiest soup to make. Martha Stewart has several recipes that are delicious and easy to make. Google for details.

However you make your tomato soup......DON'T put the discarded seeds and skins down your garbage disposal! It will wreck it and cause a plumbing backup. I speak from "experience".

I like Campbells but my husband made a homemade tomato soup with a recipe from The NY Times a few months ago and it was vey smooth. We have a vitamix and we also have an immersion blender to get it smooth.

As long as this soup is available I don't make my own. The Hearty Tomato Soup from Progresso is delicous.

I thought that I might try this Progresso soup until I saw that it had over 700 mg. salt in just one cup. Way too much salt for me!

Q-Checker - ITA! I avoid canned soup like the plague as they are loaded with salt. I buy the salt free soups (vegetable, minestronie, etc.) and I add just a pinch of salt and they are delicious. I am also looking for a homemade tomato soup recipe that tastes like Campbells minus the tons of salt they put in.
