Jersey Fresh Tomato Soup image

New Jersey is a well-known producer of tomatoes. Having our own garden leaves us with an abundance at the end of the season. Not wanting the tomatoes to go to waste, Hubby and I came up with our favorite version of tomato soup.

I tried to make this soup for my friends, but it turned out so bad that they refused to eat it. I ended up having to throw the whole pot away. It was a complete disaster!

I was really disappointed with this soup. I followed the recipe exactly, but it turned out to be a complete disaster. The soup was watery and flavorless. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I thought the soup was good, but it wasn't great. I followed the recipe exactly, but I found the soup to be a bit too acidic for my taste. I would recommend using less tomatoes or adding a bit of sugar to balance out the acidity.

I thought the soup was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar or adding a bit of acidity, such as lemon juice or vinegar.

I've made this soup several times now, and it's always a hit. It's so easy to make, and it's always so flavorful. I love that I can use fresh Jersey tomatoes from my garden. They really make a difference in the taste of the soup.
