  1. If we didn’t have the hurricane I could go get the stuff to make this sounds and looks yummy

  2. Thanks! I’ll give that a try! Sounds wonderful! I bet it does wonders for the texture as well without adding any extra fat!

  3. This is just like my recipe with one exception. Consider adding half of a medium butternut squash!
    You will like the richness it imparts!!

  4. It’s so true on canned soup. I am a soup Junky, I mean I make it all! But only Heinz tomato soup works for me on a quick. And the Knor, yeah, I only use that as well, it’s so home made tasting! Love your channel, subbed, Cheers from NYC.

  5. Love this Noreen! I made it last night! YUM-O! I sent you an email in your Youtube inbox! Have a great day!

  6. That looks really good! I bet a grilled cheese sandwhich would go great with it.

  7. nice
    

  8. I love home tomatoe soup. Yours sounds just like mine. Nothing better. Thank you Noreen

  9. Looks yummy!!

  10. This soup really looks great

  11. Cooked this for Sunday brunch today along with BLT’s and the family loved it! I reduced the salt to 1 teaspoon instead of 1 tablespoon and it still tasted amazing. Thank you for sharing!

  12. i cant wait to try this! Thank you for posting.

  13. Your tomatoes look AMAZING! How’d they come out? Are they sweet?

  14. Oh Noreen..this looks so good I’m going to be making it this afternoon. You have the best recipies. I love to cook and “all” your recipies are wonderful! Sally :)

  15. Yummers!!

  16. Robyn, I think you could totally can this up! But I would not add the cream. I would just can up the veggie mixture. Plus, I would pressure can this for sure at 10lbs pressure for 45 minutes if using quart jars. I would just add the cream when preparing this, heck you could even use plain yogurt for a lighter version. This was one meal with sandwiches with 2 quarts left over, so this would make 3 quarts give or take. Thanks for watching & commenting! Noreen

  17. ok im hungry lol looks great

  18. may i know what blender you used? i want one!

  19. Now that looks good…..Nice Job!!!!!!

  20. Great timely recipe to show Noreen! I will have to try this. . . I think I have all the ingredients on hand (even the organic cream, though I’ll have to skim it off the milk in the fridge first) : )
    I am just amazed you didn’t have to take the skins off the tomatoes. I don’t know what I envy more — your excellent cooking ability or your excellent cameraman.
    Thanks for sharing!

  21. Wow! What a great soup!

  22. That’s what’s recommended by the ‘experts’…1 tablespoon bottled lemon juice per pt. and 2 tablespoons per qt. They say the reason is that some of the newer tomatoes are lower in acid & the addition of the lemon juice ensures the acid content is high enough for canning in a boiling water bath. Sometime, I use granulated citric acid instead. I have canned tomatoes without it & not had a problem though. If I were canning salsa, where the acid was even lower…I’d use it for sure.

  23. I’ve been getting 20 qts. of tomatoes a week the last 3 weeks!
    I use the Grape seed oil. (Omega 3).
    Looks great!

  24. you do you put lemon juice in your can tomatoes?

  25. Well are you using real tomatoes or condensed soup?
    If real tomatoes try blending it first, if condensed, heat water to boiling first then put soup in and stir stir and stir some more.

  26. Put the soup into the pot and start warming it. Add the cold milk very, very slowly, stirring all the while. It will be smooth if you do this. A wire whisk helps as well but it’s not necessary.

  27. mix well before heating, it will still be chunkyish, but keep stiring while its heating up and it will become smooth

  28. I like to add a bit of milk/water in the beginning and use a whisk, then while whisking add the rest of the liquid. You are talking about from a can right? If from homemade, use an immersion blender or a blender and whiz it up

  29. Use an immersion blender to break up the chunks
