Tomato soup using canned tomatoes

[jakodai]

I made this tonight, but it didn't turn out well. It ended up with white specks through, which really affected the texture of the soup, too. Any ideas on what I might have done wrong? I used fat free milk that was fine, and as far as I know all the other ingredients were fine, too.

It had a bit of an aftertaste that I didn't really like, but I think that it may have been the mushrooms in the stock powder (it could also have been mind over matter, as I didn't like the smell) so I'm going to make another batch without the dried mushrooms during the week.

Try half cream, half milk jaiodai and see if that makes a difference.

Thanks JD. Should I use full cream milk, or is no-fat OK?

[judydawn]

Whatever you normally use jakodai.

I made this today and it was lovely.  I was in a rush, so I took some out for my lunch half way through cooking (I let the rest cook for the whole time).  It tasted so lovely like this I didn't even end up adding the milk at the end.  My son tasted it and wants it for dinner tonight.

Thanks for the recipe.
