Oh my goodness, this gets 10 stars, it's just that good!!! I really don't know what to say, I loved everything about this soup. I guess if a person wanted to, you could use an immersion blender to puree the onions more. I think one thing I will try, is to use my canned tomato juice from last year to make this. I'll have to cook the juice down more but it will be fun to see how it will turn out. I can't wait to make this again. *YUM* Made for *August Recipe Challenge Green Beans and Basil 2009* game

After a Walt Disney World trip in Dec 2006 where I had to rent an electric scooter because I couldn't manage the walking, I decided to have gastric bypass surgery, which was done Feb 28, 2007. I lost 160 lbs (though I've gained back about 60 of that since). I can't eat as much as I used to, so I want every bite to be extra good!
