Barefoot Contessa Cream of Fresh Tomato Soup image

This is VERY delicious, wonderful comfort food on an early Fall day! I don't have a food mill, so used an immersion blender and then a colander for straining. I suppose a blender or food processor would work as well, using a colander for straining. This freezes well,(without adding the cream), thawed it out, heated, then added the cream. This is adapted from Barefoot Contessa, Back To Basics, I love Ina Garten! Hope you enjoy.

I found this soup to be a bit bland. I think it could have used more herbs or spices.

This soup was a bit too tangy for my taste, but I think that's because I used Roma tomatoes. Next time, I'll try using a sweeter variety of tomato.

I'm not usually a fan of tomato soup, but this recipe changed my mind. The creaminess of the soup balanced out the acidity of the tomatoes perfectly, and the fresh herbs added a lovely flavor. I'll definitely be making this soup again.
