Made recipe exactly as written. It was bland and it did not taste like any tomato soup I’ve ever consumed. Frankly, Campbell’s Condensed Healthy Recipe Soup is better. I added some tomato paste and salt to your recipe and that helped. This was the first Blendtec recipe that was way below average. Would not try this recipe again.
When I read the reviews of a recipie, I look to see how everyone found it and what modifications people made. I can choose what i healthy for me or not. This food fight detracts from the reviews.
Id like to use fresh tomatoes. Would I need to cook them first?
I can tomatoes using the blentec to puree the tomatoes which I can use in soups, sauces etc. I recommend blanching and pealing the tomatoes before putting them in the blentec. I tried it with the skins on for just a few of the tomatoes. The skins were lumpy after blending because of their thickness. I love my blentec and use it regularly for different things such as grinding wheat, smoothies etc. After reading the reviews I believe I will look for another recipe for this soup.
