ATK Recipe #30: creamless creamy tomato soup

Since I’m challenging myself+my husband to make new recipes out of our new cookbooks throughout the year (at least one from each book per month), I decided to do mini-review posts of the recipes we make on the blog.  I will not be posting the recipe (you can get it yourself in whichever book it comes from), but I’ll post a photo (if possible) of our dish made from the recipe as well as a few bullet-point notes.   There’s a category on the blog for these posts called “recipe review 2013.”

Recipe:  Creamless Creamy Tomato Soup from The Complete America’s Test Kitchen TV Show Cookbook 2001-2013, (pages 10-11)

• when did we make this?  Friday, July 26, for supper (with Pizza Bianca!)
• did we change anything? Nope.  I even included the brandy, which we had on hand from the stroganoff recipe!
• what did we like?   A tasty, light soup. (I calculated it to be 194 cal/serving!  Not bad.)  It is also a really quick recipe!
  
• what didn’t we like?  I generally prefer a slightly sweeter tomato soup.  I did miss the cream a bit.  Also, for us, it isn’t a stand-alone meal-soup, we definitely were glad to have something with it.  It would be fantastic for lunch with a salad and/or sandwich!
• will we make it again (any changes in the future)?  Possibly.  If we make it again, I might add a bit more sugar.
