  • “Good flavor, but next time I’ll thicken it up.”

  • “This recipie saved me.I was making an irish beef stew and I needed a can of tomato soup.I went to the store to buy a can of soup but every can that I looked at had either wheat or milk in it, which neither my family can have.I will always use this recipie.”

  • “Very easy and so very tasty!!!! Nice too, that you would probably have everything handy in your pantry to whip this up at a whim:-)Thank you for a perfectly lovely tomato soup. Oodles of kudos and stars from our house!”

  • “This was wonderful and super easy to boot. I made a double batch for dinner and used it as part of the soup I was making (212706) and it worked perfectly.The only thing I did a bit differently was add a bit of vinegar to make it a little more acidic. Great recipe; thanks!”

  • “DELICOOOUSSSSSSSSSSSS. thank you!”

  • “This was so simple and good! I made it to accompany “recipe#304802″ and it was a good combo! I did make it on the stove top and the only thing I did different was add just a pinch of oregano as well. Thanks for sharing! :)”

  • “This was really good and really easy.I used milk instead of water, and used a little less of it.I was lazy and used dried onion, but it still turned out good.And I sprinkled sea salt on it and stirred in some cheddar cheese.”

  • “Excellent, and so easy! I made it on the stove, and browned a few tablespoons of flour in the buttter for thickening. I also subbed milk for the water, and added a pinch of sugar.”

  • “this tasted great and it was easy to make. i will be making this again. thank you!”

  • “loved this! I didn’t add the chicken bouillion, but I did add about 1/4 cup of cream to it, and also added a bit of chopped garlic,celery flakes, and a hint of cilantro. It was delicious. Served it with homemade cheese bread made into Grilled cheese sandwiches.I didn’t add the croutons either. This is a keeper.”

  • “I thought this was great.amazing flavor, I like mine a little thick so I only added 1/2 cup of water.”

  • “This is an excellent recipe!It has a great, rich, tomato-y flavor.I left out the croutons and added a little garlic powder.Delicious!Thanks for the recipe!”
