    Sounds fabulous. Do you have a certain type of tomato you like to use for this?

      Jodie, any kind of fresh ripe tomato will do, my favourite are roma tomatoes.

      I personally have not froze it, but can’t see any reason it wouldn’t freeze well.

    Can I substitute passata sauce for the tomatoes? If so what amount should I use in replacing 10 – 12 fresh tomatoes?

    Hey! Looking forward to trying – quick questions.
    1- Does it matter what kind of onion is used ?
    2- What chicken or vegetable broth would you recommend?

      Hi Patty, I used just a regular yellow onion, and for broth I like Knorr ready to serve. Keep in mind some broths are saltier than others, so tasty test to add any salt.

    Made this the other day and it was delicious! I used Roma’s but they were not the sweetest and ripest so next time, I’m going to try some fresh big boys or whatever are the best at the time. It’s August so we should have some good ones at this time. Thanks for this wonderful recipe.

    Hello Laureen,

    Hope you are doing well. I want to try this recipe, but I do not own an immersion blender. How should I proceed? Please let me know. Thanks.

      Hi Emmie, an immersion blender will make the soup nice and smooth. You can try whisking it vigorously to break up all the pieces of tomato. Even using blender will work.

    I can a lot of tomatoes and sauce….you most likely do not even need to peel the tomatoes. When you use an immersion blender after tomatoes cook the skins will blend just fine. It may make your soup a bit thicker.

    If I were to do the garlic then put everything in a crock pot on low before I left for work do you think it would be ok?
