I've removed skins and seeds from tomatoes, but in our family, we don't bother, and we use a hand blender which cuts them up small and they aren't noticeable to us. You would have a difficult time identifying a tiny bit of skin, unless you had a microscope. I love a good tomato soup, a little cream or milk, a little onion, a little carrot for sweetness, and just the right amount of salt and pepper.
A blender is great for that. Just be careful if you are using it with hot liquids, use a towel on top and don't get burned.

Why not? If you don't want to peel tomatoes, then don't. After all, you are the Irving Berlin of your tomato skin (Sorry - I think I have watched too many Chef John - foodwishes.com videos).
A friend makes apple crisp with the apple skins on the cut wedges. It tastes just as good as a peeled version. Mrs. T decided that it is a terrific labor saver, and never peels apples any more.
Goes to show how much I know Bliss. I've never actually made tomato soup from fresh tomatoes. Your soup sounds great.
Actually this recipe (exactly as written but less sugar) is the best TS I've ever had and I use the recipe often.

Me too. That soup really is yummy and will be made soon at my house. And yes, thank you Kay for reminding us of that soup.I remember that fun thread, and just re-read it. Thanks for bringing this back up, Kay. It disappeared off my radar and now that the weather is cooling down, I'm definitely making it.
Personally, I'd say without.I saw a recipe for Tomato soup that set out what one had to do and at the end it said to put the result through a blender. Would this cut up what I thought would be tough Tomato skins?
