@Pretty. Good. Food., thanks for the kind words. I popped by your blog and am impressed with all your step-by-step shots. I can’t cook and photograph at the same time — I’m far too messy.

Good luck with the blogging. Be warned. It can become addictive.

Poupette, you’re right about the smells. It was hard to hold off making the soup! I’d love to hear how your soup turned out.

Thanks Kristin. I thought I was alone in this, but it seems I’m not.

Food snobs unite! I think most of us foodies out there are considered snobs at one point or another…we know what we like, nothing wrong with that!! Onto the soup…this tomato-ey goodness could not have come at a better time. With the cold weather upon us I find all I do is crave soup!

Katie, thanks so much for taking the time to post your results. I'm thrilled you like the soup. I had no idea different tomatoes would make different tasting soups, but it makes sense when I think about it.

Thanks also for blogging about your experience. I'm heading to your blog right now to read all about it.

I made your soup after I saw it on foodgawker and it was so easy and delicious! I tried 3 different varieties of tomatoes from my garden and the farmer's market to see if it made a difference and each one was a totally different soup. My freezer is now full of homemade soup for the winter. Thanks. (oh and I made a blog entry about it. I'm not a food blogger but I do love to cook so once in awhile a food entry get's in there. http://giraffesandcandy.blogspot.com/2009/09/three-tomatoes-one-way.html)

Vivian, you raise some good points. Yes, tinned tomatoes are picked at their prime, so are quite flavourful. And I didn't know about tomato paste being the highest in lycopene. Thanks for this information.

I used to eat Triscuits with melted cheese, too. Even without mayonnaise there was more than enough fat!

For the record, I don't hate tomato paste. I use it occasionally for a flavour boost. My objection was using it as a total replacement for tomatoes.

Thanks again for being your wise balanced view.

Oops, pardon the spelling boo-boos. Should have "previewed", sorry.
