Tomato Soup Tips:

– The kind of tomato isn't as important as having nice, fresh tomatoes. – You don't have to peel the tomatoes if in a hurry, but it is recommended. – Add fresh herbs appropriate for tomatoes (oregano, basil, thyme) to the soup to enhance the flavor of your soup and make it a bit more your own. – Instead of adding water, try adding chicken stock or vegetable stock.
