Loved the picture - looked just like I like tomato bisque to look.
Sounded easy. Wow - three ingredients.
But - TOTAL fail.
Oh well.

I made this at the start of winter and it warmed our frozen Minnesota hearts. Love this , almost just sat there and ate out of the pan.

I have now made this soup several times and love it for its heartiness, richness, and simplicity. I have used both heavy cream, as well as plant/nut based creams, and all work well! I also have used a variety of different tomatoes and find so long as they're perfectly ripe, they all lend themselves to it beautifully.

I looooove this soup. My only question is that I would love to know how to make a large batch that can feed a lot of people. This made about two bowls, and I would love to feel comfortable doubling or even tripling the recipe. Not sure how to do that best!

#TrueStory! I was mildly intrigued by the three ingredient soup but when I read the instructions to “stir like shit” I decided this Cook knew her stuff. I love the idea and summer is too far off to wait! Hurry up summer! I have to get this recipe on the stove!

I would definitely remove the skin as the tomatoes cook down. Is there a reason why you recommend against that?

I have made this recipe more than any other on this site now. It's my go-to when I want to cook something for someone. Whether they're in a bad mood or sick or I just want to cook, this is always the first thing I think of. Thank you for this comforting and delicious recipe.
