I barely had anything in my fridge today but luckily I had the ingredients to this soup (some wilted cilantro stems, half a red onion, garlic) so I made it and it was delicious! Definitely better than the sum of it's parts! Thanks for posting!

Last weekend I was looking at some particularly robust cilantro stems that I had in the fridge, and I recalled seeing a soup recipe on here that involved little more than canned tomatoes and cilantro stems (turns out I had forgotten about a few of the ingredients, but as luck would have it I had them all on hand). So I made the soup, and it was fantastic-- I especially love the vibrant, ruby-red color. Will definitely be making it again this week; that remaining half of a jalapeno begs to be used soon.

This soup was so delicious…and so easy! Like a little taste of summer while winter’s sneaking up on us. Thanks for another keeper.

t’s funny because until recently, I really despised pretty much all soups. They bored me. But recently, I’ve been craving soups like crazy.

I was just turned on to this site. I love fresh food, and I’ve been looking for a good tomato soup recipe since all the canned stuff is full of corn syrup. This one sounds like a winner! Thanks.

Hmm yes, the jalapeno and lime really work. In fact lemon or lime seem to be pretty damn fine for spicing anything up. Have you tried adding miso? I know the sweet-sour taste isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but it really adds body (to the soup, not me, it’s not high in calories) – which you particularly need if you’re a vegetarian. Thanks.

Yum! This was so easy. I took a shortcut and used a can of crushed tomatoes (and they were on sale). The soup was missing the chunky factor, so I added a can of kidney beans and dumped in some frozen corn and cooked brown rice. It made a very serviceable and cheap vegetable soup! Thanks Molly!-Michelle

Dear Molly --The soup was exactly as you described, maybe moreso: bright, soothing, fragrant, hearty, and delicious. I followed your recipe to the letter, except I doubled the amount -- good thing, too, since I know that the beer-rye-carroway quick break I baked to go along with it will appreciate having its sprightly pal alongside it for another couple-few meals.You are an angel of the kitchen, and thank you for sharing your recipes.
