That sounds really good! I've only ever made Carrot Soup during my cooking adventures. While I do enjoy how simple tomato soup is, this sounds like a nice variation.

And my roommate is always looking for something to use Marjoram in, so hoorah!

Its a nice twist to the usual canned tomato soup, and realy taste great when you use back yard tomato's

It seems to be a good year for Tomatos. My Tumbler tomato plants are like trifids. The soup receipe will come in handy, cheers it sound tasty. Another couple of weeks and I may try it out.
