I have not made this soup yet but I'm sure it will really be good

[@alexdee5341]

When someone says "Use six cloves of garlic", me like: "Oh, so I will use twelve."

[@Rockchickt]

Definitely me 😂

[@hoomanbeing4918]

I’ll use 6 dozen 😂

[@mightymansterling]

U already know lol

[@deewynn]

Guilty!!

[@jmontgomery32]

Absolutely!

[@jonskullard8421]

I made this recipe for my wife while she was recovering from surgery. Now I'm making it at least once a week because we both enjoy it so much. It really is so easy, yet delicious. For someone like me who has only moderate confidence in the kitchen, this soup is an ego booster. It's great to taste something and think, "Wow! I did this!" It's even better when the person you love says, "Make me some more of that." :D

[@trash7692]

That’s so sweet! You’ve convinced me to make this recipe ☺️

My man!! 💪 keep being a great husband brother!

[@clarkcook5397]

I made this Tomato Soup. The first time I made it I used a potato masher but ended up purchasing an immersion blender which done wonders for the soup. I have made it two times and it will be my to go recipe. I also love to watch you cook. I will be looking up more of your recipes as you are a great chef. Thank you! Teresa from Ohio

[@shawnheatherly9219]

Fun tip if you blend it over the heat it helps prevent the fats in the olive oil from separating which is what would break the sauce and cause that bitterness and as long as it's on the heat you can add a small amount of water, butter or both to help pull it back together

[@jennifer6833]

I made my first tomato soup a few months ago and it came out phenomenal! Used fresh tomatoes from our garden, three sweet peppers, two Vidalia onions, fresh baby carrots, garlic, sugar, I cooked it in butter with no olive oil, used cottage cheese as my thickener along with cream cheese, seasoned as we like, water was my liquid. My child said she doesn’t ever want canned soup again. Thank you for sharing your version of the recipe.

[@jintanasaengow7879]

I like tomatoes from garden.

[@markcnut17]

Sounds amazing!

[@bobbieschroder6231]

Won't the cottage cheese and cream cheese give the soup a cheese flavor?

[@bobbieschroder6231]

When you say "sweet peppers," are you referring to green bell peppers?

[@Hughjasslol1]

You basically made your own recipe lol

[@karen_james]

I’d definitely use 6 or more cloves. I’m a garlic fiend. This looks amazing and probably one of the only soups my husband will eat. Thanks for this, I’ve already pinned it to my Pinterest board and will be making it soon! ❤️

[@alexdee5341]

Me too, I will probably use twelve cloves.

[@catherinedurbin9298]

So glad to know I’m not alone. I go through garlic so fast!

[@sandysmom100]

My daughters favorite soup I'm trying it this week!

[@Random_Stuff_YT]

You’re husband best get off his ass and cook for himself! I have to do all the cooking around here! I wish someone would cook for me!

[@marisoto9873]

This is the BEST tomato soup I’ve ever had. I’m about to go to college and I know I’ll be eating this many many times. 10/10 easy and relaxing recipe! Just not the onions….I cried a lot but very much worth it!

[@shelleythomas1811]

I make creamy tomato and basil soup every Christmas Eve with herbed grilled cheese sandwiches!! Very similar to yours, only I use roasted tomatoes.

[@jeanne1271]

My daughter who loves to cook makes that too, not Xmas eve but throughout the year but thats an awesome idea ❤️

[@missgreece91]

Oh yummm!

[@jamessandoval5843]

yeah! I roast a bunch of veggies and tomatoes in my dutch oven in the oven, then blend, then add sauteed onions and garlic. Blend and voila - excellent soup.

[@oneitalia2312]

@@jamessandoval5843 Hi James, do you get the seeds out of your tomatoes?

[@nanl1947]

Made this a couple weeks ago when snowing also. Had nice thick sliced bread grilled cheese sandwiches with it. One of the easiest, best tomato soups I've made and I've been cooking and baking for six decades! Love your baking videos, especially the Christmas cookies with your fam. So much fun to watch!🥰

[@TKCTSTN]

Isn't it the law you have to eat grilled cheese sandwiches with tomato soup?

[@SumOneSomewhere]

@@TKCTSTNthat’s what I was taught growing up 🤷‍♂️

[@davey3765]

I made this tonight for my BF and it came out EPIC. I put in extra olive oil and simmered the onions on low het for 30+ min then the garlic like you said (I used minced garlic in a jar), then after adding in the tomatoes I added the 3 cups of broth, I made the broth from beef bouillon and I made it strong! Tossed in a healthy amount of Italian seasons and thyme - BAM! Let it simmer for about an hour and then used the submersion blender gently. WOW it came out good. This is something that was much easier to make than I realized! edit: oh yeah I didnt use any cream because I didnt have any ahhh

[@Socialmute]

My husband exclaimed that he doesn't know who this myster man is in my life but he thinks he loves you. 🤣 I'm gathering the ingredients now for this soup.

[@RepentAndBelieve43]

Jesus loves you. 😇

[@lochness_jenni6116]

Just made this tonight! I added rosemary, thyme, and oregano on top of basil. Additionally I used avocado oil in place of olive oil and it turned out really yummy especially paired with thick and cheesy grilled cheese. Thank you for the recipe! It's a keeper for sure! And it is wonderful on a cold fall or winter night.

[@ElCocineroErrante]

Don’t use extra virgin olive oil, it’s not intended to be cooked with for so long and gives you a bitter result. Just use soft yellow refined olive oil, there is nothing wrong with it. It also emulsifies better with the blender.

[@TheRayjane]

Great info. Thank you 🙏🏼

[@Ice.muffin]

Extra virgin olive oil shouldn't even be used for high temperature cooking from what I know, it gets the molecular structure altered and transformed into smth that's not great for us from what I can remember.

[@TheRayjane]

Question. Can you use avocado oil ?

[@aperson5294]

@@TheRayjane I think you can. It's unrefined like extra virgin olive oil, but it has a higher smoking point, so it might work out. At least it did when I stir fry it

[@TheRayjane]

@@aperson5294 thank you for your response I’ll try it

[@Dude-oy9dl]

I used bacon grease instead of olive oil. And threw in a few little pieces of the bacon, as well. I put some red pepper flakes, and cayenne in, for a kick. As well as some dried herbs. It came out great! Thanks for the lovely recipe. (I also made your Avgolemono, from your book. It was very good. Fed us for a few days. 😊 I really appreciated that you taught how to make stock as part of the recipe. There's lots of fun stuff like that in your book.)

[@davey3765]

This is one of those recopies you can have fun with I love it!

[@user-tt6kq9lq8i]

The most delicious food is fraught with a little secret ... they always throw a pinch of love into it😍

[@martinm4826]

I just wanted to say: Thank you so much for the tip regarding the olive oil! We are preparing a dinner party tomorrow and making this soup tonight and also a tried and tested hummus recipe, which we have been making for years. The trick about adding the olive oil last is amazing, as this is the first time that our hummus is not bitter! The soup is amazing, too!

[@karlazarate9325]

I love how you narrate the process. This is my first time trying this recipe for some guests I'm having over the weekend 😄

[@judegoldstein64]

the most delicious and easiest recipe ever. tastes exactly how i want it to taste. thank you, john. my 99 year old mother wants it on a regular rotation. she sips it out of a teacup with a dish of oyster crackers on the side!

[@user-fu9tb2bs5i]

I made this soup recipe for lunch yesterday for my husband and myself. And literally we could not stop eating it. One of the best tomato soup recipes I ever had. I will make this now. And throw out Campbell's tomato soups in the can fast and easy delicious.

[@user-nb3vs2mc4e]

Oh, John. You're the reason I became an immersion blender owner. After making this soup the first time, I never looked back. It's become a staple favorite. Keep 'em comin'. 😉 PS. I gave your book to my Secret Santa recipient. Spreadin' the joy.

[@wordling720]

I made this last night with grilled cheese sandwiches. Big hit, and it tasted even better today at lunch! Thanks!

[@philippoon8879]

Hi John, you can add a shot of vodka to enhance the flavour of the tomatoes even further as certain flavour molecules improve their flavour through the presence of alcohol. Also, I would add some basil and/or parsley stems for some complementary herbaceous notes in the background. Extra Virgin olive oil is not really intended to be heated for extended periods as it will make the oil bitter, instead use a lighter olive oil or a neutral oil.

[@anthonyvenedicto518]

I made this for my dad who had his wisdom teeth removed today and we both loved it! He said it was 1 of the best tomato soups he ever had

[@louisenissenbaum3410]

I always add a few pinches of dried basil during the cooking process. I use fresh basil as a garnish at the end. This is a nice, simple tomato soup recipe and truly a crowd pleaser. Thanks for posting it. I am a very experienced home-cook, but I always appreciate seeing it done right!

[@baloney_sandwich]

This man cooks all the soups I love, thank you

[@cak813]

I’m obsessed with anything tomato - soup, sauce, or just tomatoes on their own. They’re so tasty and so versatile. This soup looks fantastic and the dash of cream at the end must be heavenly. I might be tempted to add just a little Worcestershire sauce, too, or a bit of Cholula hot sauce.

[@gilesjones1230]

I tend to add sun dried tomato’s stored in olive oil, a good splash of balsamic vinegar when cooking my onions and garlic but I let it cook out like if you would be cooking with wine I also add my left over Parmesan rinds for extra flavour. But otherwise pretty much the same as you! Great video! I serve mine with a good greeting of Parmesan and good quality ciabatta

[@Active0Bserver]

That sounds incredible. Going to give that a try next time I make tomato soup. Thanks for sharing

[@stephanieCl]

Yum 😋!!! Thanks for the sun dried tomatoe tip ! I’m doing it now

[@benhicksbass]

I love this channel. Always gives me new things to make. My family grows and cans tomatoes so I used those, and decided to add a little tomato paste to the onion and garlic before deglazing to increase to richness tenfold lol

[@janballew9916]

Try blendering the tomatoes first before adding to the pot. Avoids the olive oil issue. :)

[@annarose1112]

I always use your channel when I want good soups or pastas. I made your tomato soup with some twists of my own and it was amazing. Thank you for your recipes.

[@rollergirl55]

Hi John: I love your videos and watch them at night before I go to sleep. I’m on my way home from Toronto, to a town east of Windsor, Ontario. I’m going to make this tomato soup when I get home, even though it’s mid June. It looks so good and has so many positive reviews. I will also try some of your dessert recipes and your Italian cream frosting, which looks amazing. You have so many great tips that you share. Keep those recipes and videos coming! You bring so much joy to many via your friendly, upbeat attitude. Thanks for sharing your talent with the world!

[@sharakirkby2744]

I did not know that blending makes olive oil bitter. That’s a great tip for us home cooks. Thanks.

[@terrihasstedt5855]

Love that you mentioned canning your own tomatoes for this type of soup. Did wonder if you do composting, noticed your onion and garlic skins next to your cutting board. I have a enameled bowl that I keep a lid on for compostable stuff, my hubby takes it out to one of our compost piles as needed. Sometimes more than once a day when processing a great deal of fruit or vegetables, such as canning day. Soup looks wonderful!

[@maxineb9598]

If you freeze whole tomatoes, when you thaw them out, the skins peel off without to much trouble. Less hassle than bottling them.

[@bobbieschroder6231]

​​@@maxineb9598YES! I learned that years ago by sheer chance! It was a nice surprise for me! You're the first person I've ever seen who knows about this little, handy trick! 😃

Dear John, One way to lessen, if not completely prevent, watery eyes from onions is to place them in the fridge for awhile before cutting. Sometimes I place them in the freezer. No freezer? Place them outdoors on a winter day. See if this helps! Kathy
