I thought I'd try to make homemade tomato so I did. I mean tomato soup how hard can it be. I put a can of whole peeled tomatoes in blender and blend until smooth. I put in pot heated and simmered until thick. Added half stick of whole butter, and a ounce of cream cheese, salt to taste. I add half and half until the consistency I wanted the soup to be. Made grilled cheese sandwiches. DH said it was the best tomato soup he has ever had. Of course he hasn't had that many kinds. LOL
