"Amazing Tomato Soup! We used Delicious and Super Beefsteak tomatoes from our garden for this. We had to pick them when they were green and bring them inside to ripen as it is November in MN. We followed the recipe as is with the exception of adding the cream. Our taste test proved it unnecessary. We don't have and immersion blender so we scooped the vegetables out of the pot with a slotted spoon after simmering/reducing and used our Cuisinart to puree them. The only thing that we plan to do differently next time is save a few small tomatoes after roasting to chop up and add some chunkiness to the end product. That and maybe some extra huge croutons to top off this splendid recipe.
