I believe it served 6 to 8. It should be just fine with vegetable broth. There are plenty of other flavors here. You can add the cream before or after refrigeration. I believe it served 6 to 8.

I'm making this soup for part of the buffet for a wedding shower and I have a few questions about it. I noted that you wrote that it will keep for up to two days refrigerated. Do you recommend adding the cream and/or sherry before refrigerating? Also, how many will this serve so that I can size it accordingly? Finally, (I promise this is the last question) have you tried it with vegetable broth? The bride is a vegetarian, but I've always made this soup (which I LOVE) with the called for chicken broth. Do you have any recommendation for a good canned veg broth? I'm NOT making my own with all this work ahead of me! Thanks, and I have to say, I love this blog. Basically everything I cook comes from here, (carnitas is currently on the stove) All three of my contributions to the shower (lemonade, chicken salad sandwiches, and soup) are coming from YOU! -Mollie Hi Deb,

He even pulled a face like someone had just stabbed him in the foot when I told him I was making this recipe for supper last night. But he had to eat crow (or, rather, tomato soup) once he tasted it, because he absolutely loved it (we both did). He couldn't stop raving about it actually. It was cute. I left out the brandy/sherry (only had apricot brandy, wasn't sure about that flavour combo), and added a pinch of red pepper flakes and a decent amount of cayenne (we like our spice), and it was DELICIOUS. We will definitely be making this again. Thanks! My husband HATES tomato soup.

It's perfect. I have been trying several tomato soup recipes over the past few weeks, trying to find one similar to a restaurant in Mexico where I lived for a few years with my family and THIS one is it! I also added a thick slice of goat cheese in the center when I served it! If you like goat cheese....try it, you will love the combination...In Mexico, they served a breaded, deep-fried piece piece of goat cheese in their tomato soup....that's where I got the idea....yum!

It is our go-to soup recipe, I think I can make it with my eyes closed now. Thank you a million times over for this one. It is easy, fairly quick and oh so good. I would love to return the favor, let me know if you need a good fennel and artichoke salad recipe :) Thanks!!! PS The carnitas you just posted from Homesick Texan is another one of my favorites - we've been making that for about a year now, too!

Hadn't cooked in two weeks (which is like a lifetime to me.) But wanted to let you know that I turned to your blog right away for one of the first recipes as a married couple. This recipe of yours is one of our favorite. Simple, delicious weekday meal. Made it last night on what seems to be the first day of Fall in Chicagoland. It was amazing (again.) Thanks!
