Fresh Tomato Soup - from scratch image

In the Fall when fresh field tomatoes are at their best I make a huge batch of this soup and freeze it for use over the Winter. It freezes very well and tastes fresh when defrosted. This is much better than the commercially canned soup and I know that I have used the best ingredients with no chemical preservatives.

I'm not a fan of tomatoes, but I actually really enjoyed this soup. It's creamy and flavorful, and the tomatoes aren't overpowering.

This soup is way too salty. I had to add a lot of water to dilute it.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup turned out too watery. I think I might have added too much liquid.

This soup is a bit bland for my taste. I think it needs more seasoning.
