I've seen tomato soup recipies but never made one-are they good? I'm curious how they taste.

OK, you can get in the frount door of my house now! I've got allmost all the dishes done and put away-I do have a crockpot bowl soaking. I'm getting ready to haul the trash out and take kids for allergy shots-just thought I'd check in before I left!
