Tomato Soup, NoDak style

[bethzaring]

I am assuming fresh tomatoes will work? I have never met a tomato soup recipe I like so am anxious to try this one. I don't have any ripening tomatoes but my sister does and I am taking care of her garden for the next two weeks.

Thanks Dawg

I would think fresh tomatoes would be fine, Beth!

I just couldn't believe how good this was with cheapo Costco diced tomatoes!

You could probably even leave out the dairy. When I tasted it, the base was really good.

I can't begin to read the recipe from the picture, Dawg. Could you please, please copy it down for the rest of us?

I love tomato soup and always have all kinds of tomatoes in cans to use. I also always have evaporated and dried milk on hand.

Hurry, if you don't mind - I'm licking my chops. *drool*

Check the link I put in the first post, Z. Easier on the eyes.

Thanks Dawg! I didn't catch it before. Copied enlarged and printed.

I can see I'll have some adjustments to make, but finally, at least I have a place to start.

What fun!

I love a great tomato soup!

Thanks!

What I like about this soup is apparently it's been an icon for years. It originated in Montana. Everyone seems to love it. How'd I miss it?

That recipe looks like a good one Dawg! Von's supermarket sells what they call homemade tomato soup in tubs. It's pretty darn good. They put basil in theirs.
I think they call it "Tomato Basil Bisque".

[Dawgluver]

Basil would be a nice addition, Kay. Though I love it as is. Will have to work on my tempering technique, just didn't want to dirty another pot.

[Kayelle]

I might divide up the recipe and try it with and without basil.

Please tell me it doesn't taste like Campbell's Tomato Soup....patooie.
