- "This is the epitome of a comforting soup. I would serve it three times a week if I could get away with it, especially during our long winters, with their grey, overcast days. It's creamy and rich and nourishing. Even though I am such a fan of fresh tomatoes, this is the one dish that I think may even work better with canned fresh tomatoes, this is the one dish that I think may even work better with canned tomatoes."
