The recipe calls for one cup of cream, but the soup tastes equally delicious without it.

So easy. So yummy. Forget ever making plan-old tomato soup... this stuff is awesome. Perfect for people who don't really like eggplant. (My kids had no idea it was in there). We reserved the cream until the soup was in the bowl, then made pretty designs on top. (Kids loved it). Delicious!!!

    Nice soup, good texture. I thought it was better blending the skin with the rest of it. If you roast it long enough, and season it well enough it won't taste bitter as a result.

    Wow, what a wonderful and different soup! I added a bit of potato and zucchini to the recipe, and processed only about 3/4 of it in blender, to maintain texture. I omitted the cream, but added a hearty splash of white wine to simmer until dinner was ready. My fiancee said, "wow, this kinda reminds me of french onion... except, ya know, it's different!" hehehe! THIS WAS INCREDIBLE!!! Thank you for such a yummy new soup! [ps- this goes fantastically with the aloo paratha (indian potato-stuffed flatbreads) that i also posted.]

    Just one more WOW review! If you haven't tried this soup, you don't know what your're missing. It it just GREAT and easier than it sounds. I made it per instructions only added some oregano and substituted grated fresh parmesan for the goat cheese. Served it to friends (4 total) and finished the batch. Also had Artisan garlic/parmensan warmed bread, Pinot Gris wine and those great Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies with French Vanilla ice cream. Our guests went away with the recipes and big satisfying grins on their faces. I love to please my guests .....thanks Dave! This will be made again in this household and probably many more!
