oh my that looks gorgeous!
I just made this last night and it was very good!! The only thing that I found when I made it was that there was too much onion. My soup also turned out a very light orange in color but I think it was because of the types of tomato I used. Even though the soup was very oniony it was still very delicious and not a drop was left over! Thanks for the recipe :)
Hello Marisa,
Thanks for trying out the soup. I am glad you liked it.
Where you able to puree the soup in a blender? Pureeing the soup gives it a nice texture and you will not feel it oniony. If you still feel you can reduce the amount of onions next time.
The color of the soup varies with the tomatoes.If you like, you can add some red coloring to give it a nice bright color. Hope this helps.
