If you want to make the recipe a little richer, add cream instead of milk or add a dollop of sour cream to it when serving. Sometimes I will add some basil when I'm feeling fiesty.

Wonderful comfort food. Even my husband ate it (he doesn't care for tomato soup) Served with Hot Mexican Corn Bread #11012. Very filling and great go together.

Never made homemade tomato soup before. This turned out better than expected. I drained the water from the potatoes and onions. Not sure if that is what I was supposed to do but I think it would have diluted out the flavor if I hadn't. The tomato flavor was full-bodied and I added cream for more richness. I am happy with the results. Thanks.
