Thank you. It’s so easy to make soup why does anyone buy the canned stuff?!

I don't know but home made is cheaper and better. I usually have a container of stock in the freezer to pop in the microwave to make cook rice or beans in or just season it well for a cup of hot broth to drink with toast or crackers.

For tomato soup I dice peeled tomatoes and cook them slowly before adding some cream or milk. Then just before taking it off the I add some fresh pureed tomatoes and let it set a few minutes.
I find this gives it more of a tomato taste.
