In reply to Rachel. YES, YOU MUST GET ONE!! I never realized how much I needed it until after I got one. Not trying to sell a name brand, but this KitchenAid is pretty awesome, and it comes with it's own measuring canister, so you can blend things in small batches. I use it all the time now with chilies!! As always, thanks for your comments and stopping by to see what's going on here. I enjoy reading what you have to say. xoxo

In reply to Lindsay. Thanks Lindsay! I have been enjoying a lot of soups lately, but I am growing tired of it and am starting to look forward to warm weather and fresh veggies!! :)

I’ll have to try this!!! I haven’t quite weened myself off of the condensded stuff – even though over here it’s *eesh* something like 2.60€ a can. On the bright side, maybe, it seems to be an Italian imported version of Campell’s that uses real sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup. But then again it doesn’t taste exactly the same. I basically just need to bite the bullet and buy and immersion blender and make your soup.

That sounds great and doesn’t look too hard to make either – kind of like making my own spaghetti sauce instead of buying it in a jar.

Every time I see your pictures, I’m reminded of a new gadget I need. IMMERSION BLENDER, I MUST HAVE YOU. Also, the soup looks gawgeous. Hope you can perfect it!

Love this! I’m planning on making tomato soup later this week – nothing beats it for dinner on a cold day!

In reply to Dana@ IveGotCake. It was awfully close, but I feel that it was a little too acidic. It needs some tweaking. I'm thinking a little more carrot. My thought is that that natural sugar from the carrot will help balance the acid out... Maybe I am just addicted to the crap I can't pronounce out of the can?!?! Lawd!

Love that you kept it traditional and served it with grilled cheese sandwiches Debbie, good going!
What was the verdict on the soup? Still needs more experimenting or have you found the red gold at last?
