This cream of tomato soup is a thick soup made from tomatoes, cream, pepper, onion and garlic. It is more than an appetizer and with bread sticks it can be easily served as a fulfilling dinner. It is a gentle and soothing soup. It is prepared in less than 30 minutes and is extremely flavorful. I adapted this recipe from Martha Stewart creamy tomato recipe.
