Tips/Hints:
This is such a lovely cream of tomato soup, you may like to thin it down some more but we prefer ours quite thick.
I normally make this as a starter with homemade burgers to follow with grilled mushrooms.

Thanks bron - sounds good.  Love the 1/4 tsp sambal oelek - for those who want us to put ingredients in weights rather than volumes -wonder how you'd go?? 

I am sure this would go OK cold - maybe leave out the cheese?

Yes the original recipe was for cold tomato soup, with a squeeze of lemon juice and without the cheese, however we have cooler weather than you guys at the mo, so decided to make it warm & wintery

Thanks bron - it sounds like a great summer soup with fresh tomatoes.

Even though it's a scorcher here today I just felt like soup.  I made this without the cheese and it is sooooooo good.  Hubby loved it and the kids did as well.  I think the addition of the Sambal Oelek is what really makes it.  Thanks for the recipe.
