Jersey Fresh Tomato Soup image

New Jersey is a well-known producer of tomatoes. Having our own garden leaves us with an abundance at the end of the season. Not wanting the tomatoes to go to waste, Hubby and I came up with our favorite version of tomato soup.

I thought this soup was just okay. I found the flavor to be a bit one-dimensional and the texture was a bit too thick. I probably won't make this soup again.

I loved this soup! It was so easy to make and the flavor was incredible. I especially liked the addition of the roasted red peppers. I will definitely be making this soup again.

This soup was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if the recipe had called for less chili powder. Other than that, it was a good soup.

This soup was just okay. I thought the flavors were a bit bland and the texture was too watery. I probably won't make this soup again.

This soup was absolutely delicious! I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfectly. The tomatoes were sweet and flavorful, and the broth was creamy and rich. I served it with a grilled cheese sandwich and it was the perfect comfort food me
