A homemade tomato soup is a wondrous thing  Heinz is insipid by comparison  |

I think that's the whole point when I feel bleuch. I don't want my tastebuds challenged or over-excited. Bland food. |

Darn it. I now have a sudden desire for tomato soup.
GG - there are also several variations on the theme in the recipes database.

Thank you for reminding me of that (I've made the Delia one in hte past). Onions, garlic, courgettes, tomatoes and basil now roasting in the oven |

Delia's Roasted TS is brilliant. From memory (well, this is how I do it) - cut toms in half and put in roasting tin cut side up. (Delia skins them, but I don't bother). Sprinkle with chopped garlic, ground black pepper and torn basil. Drizzle with olive oil. Roast in a hottish oven until the edges are blackened. Meanwhile, boil (a) potatoe(s) in whatever quantity of water. When toms are ready, scrape the lot, including the juices and the burnt crusty bits, into the potato and water - and whizz in the blender. So yummy! Mmm, roasted tomato soup with hot baguettes. Heaven! |

I'm waiting to get bored with tomato salads so that I can fry them in butter and have them on toast. (Shhh - or on bacony fried bread). |

I follow Judith's method and I add a few chillis and peppers. |

I do a roasted red pepper and tomato soup, which is similar to Judith's (only with some peppers!)
And there's always minestrone. |
