For a 28 oz tin of whole or diced tomatoes, I do this:

Coarsley dice a half onion, a half bell pepper and two stalks of celery
(the trinity).
Saute the results in a 2 quart pot in a tablespoon of butter until the
onions become translucent then dump in the tomatoes.
Heat for a while covered. A half hour would be fine.
Use a stick blender to smooth the results to your taste in smoothness.
Add salt to taste.
Add sugar to taste to reduce sharpness.
Add cream, half and half or milk if you wish right near the end for
flavor
Serve.

A simpler method never tried but I'm sure it would be good is:

Heat a 28 oz tin of whole or diced tomatoes
Buzz with a stick blender
add salt, sugar and optional dairy products as above.

I don't recommend tomato puree, tomato sauce or ketchup for tomato soup.
At least I don't like them. Canned tomatoes are great for it.

Heat one can tomato puree with one can water and a pinch of white
pepper, thicken with cornstarch slurry, drizzle in beaten egg while
gently stirring... serve steaming hot with Chinese noodles.

I prefer to use "stewed tomatoes", and buzz them with a stick-blender
after the broth is thickened.

I also add half-n-half instead of egg.

1/2 med onion chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon of good olive oil or of butter
1 #2 can of tomatoes
1/2 liter of milk
salt to taste

Optional: cook separately 1/2 cup of plain rice per package instructions

Heat the oil or butter in a large pot, then gently sauté the onion untiol
softened with the 1/2 tsp salt. Don't brown them. When they are thoroughly
softened, add the tomatoes and bring to a simmer, breaking them up with a
wooden spoon. Cook at simmer for about 30 minutes.

Use a stick blender or a food mill to puree the soup mixture and then bring
the puree to a simmer again. Gradually, just a tablespoon at a time at
first, add the milk to the mixture, stirring. When it is about half
incorporated, you can just add all the rest. Bring to a simmer again, taste
for salt and correct.

Serve hot with a grind of fresh pepper and a pat of butter or a thread of
oil on top, over a spoonful of the rice if you have made it. Parmesan may
be passed as a condiment. This is Crema di pomodoro (con riso.)

Here's a good one. You don't have to have Italian plum tomatoes -
crushed or regular are fine, too.

Creamy Tomato Soup

Recipe By 😄ora
Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories :

-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 tablespoons butter
1 large onion -- peeled and chopped
1 carrot -- chopped

1 28 oz. can Italian plum tomatoes -- peeled
3 cups chicken broth -- defatted
1 small potato -- peeled, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons fresh basil or 2 tsp. dried basil
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
salt and pepper
1 cup milk

Melt butter in a soup pot over low heat. Add onion, carrot and garlic.

Crush tomatoes in their liquid and add to the pot along with chicken

Purée in a blender, in small batches, adding a bit of milk to each

the tomatoes.

That's too much like work, and you have to deal with the seeds..
Actually I do this often, I typically use ordinary tomato sauce (8oz
can), for a larger amount I use a can of tomato paste watered down.

That's a whole nother dish... cream of tomato vs tomato egg drop.

I think cream of tomato egg drop would be disgusting.

The OP asked for "very simple"... your's is about as complicated as
tomato soup gets save growing your own... probably some guy just wants
quick and easy tomato soup that's NOT cream-of... I don't think any
soup company makes a plain tomato soup, so you sorta hafta gotta make
it from canned tomato. Before I'd go through all the trouble your
recipe indicates I'd just heat up a head smacking can of V-8. DUH

Hot clamato with sody crackers is good too... add a few dashes tobasco
(a single guy thing).

Don't be silly - mine's not hard. Sure beats making soup from tomato
paste.

What would you know... all tinned tomato soups are made from paste, so
is all tinned/bottled tomato juice... most every commercial product
containing tomato is made with paste, even ketchup. Hey, RFC has

Please set your word wrap to 72 characters. Thanks.

Here is a brief recipe from _Cooking in Ten Minutes_ by Edouard de
Pomiane. The tomato extract referred to in the recipe is, I am sure,
the same as concentrated (triple, as is often the case in Europe) tomato
paste. Obviously, adjust the amount of the ingredients, especially
water and tomato paste, to your taste. For stirring in the semolina,
use a whisk and be fast and diligent. For further cooking, continue to
stir or use a stick blender, at least occasionally. Depending on what
you do, you'll get anything from a thin soup to a kind of porridge,
tasting more or less intensively of tomatoes.

Victor

Tomato soup

Boil three-quarters of a pint of water in a saucepan and stir in a good
soupspoonful of tomato extract.
Add two dessertspoonfuls of fine semolina, stirring as you do so.
Salt. Let it boil six minutes. Add two ounces of thick cream. Serve.

Maybe in the USA, where ignorance like yours has allowed everything to
become as fake as they can get away with. Read labels. Make your own.
Whatever.

Almost every single person who thinks of tomato soup is thinking of cream of
tomato soup or some variation on it. Otherwise, it tends to be hot tomato
juice, which apparently you like.

sheldon doesn't like the cream of tomato soup because it doesn't mix
well with the crystal palace vodka.
