  1. Easy to do!
     
  2. Excellent! I use my garden plum tomatoes and fresh garden basil and thyme for this recipe. Other then that I stick to the Contessa’s recipe, you can’t go wrong. I freeze most of it for the colder months, works out well. So don’t be afraid to freeze this soup.
     
  3. I used my own freshly prepared vegetable stock for this recipe. I also roasted the onions and the garlic along with the tomatoes. The fresh basil I stirred into the soup pot a minute before serving. Didn't add the pepper flakes. The roasting really mellowed the flavor of the toms. I'll save this recipe for summer when there's a surplus of tomatoes looking for a good home.

<p>I live in athens, ga and have a seasonal peanut brittle making business. I also do some catering and personal chefing. For fun i like gardening, listening to music, reading magazines and cookbooks, playing tennis, playing with my dogs (2 labs, 1 yorkie)and cooking. My favorite cookbook is Joy of Cooking and I am addicted to watching the food network. I love Jamie Oliver's style. A pet peeve in the kitchen is my husband picking at the food before it's ready. (Maybe I should take that as a compliment!)</p>
