That’s a great question, Carolyn… Haven’t really thought about that, but I think that I’d strain the tomatoes myself for this usage. Even strained, canned tomatoes are plenty juicy. So I think unstrained would be, as you suspected, too watery. Would love to hear how it turned out with canned tomatoes, if you don’t mind 🙂

Salut Audrey! This recipe sounds (and looks) amazing. Thank you . Like you, I love winter soups. If I am using canned tomatoes, do you still recommend 800g? I tend to use chopped tomatoes (from a great Italian brand, Cirio) but does this make the soup too watery? Many thanks Audrey. With warmest wishes, Carolyn

Hello, Sam! I have absolutely used a chinois for a variety of recipes, but off memory I don’t believe I’ve ever used one for this recipe. The blender I use typically makes for a wonderfully smooth velouté. With that being said, if you have one, there would be absolutely no harm in using it to ensure maximum smoothness.

If tomatoes were seeded like raspberries, I definitely would!

Audrey – have you ever pushed a veloute through a chinois? Is there any value in doing so?

In reply to Wendi. Thanks, Wendi! Yes, the honey does add a nice cut through that is really pleasant, but it's not a gamechanging ommission. And your yogurt/sour cream replacement was also good thinking! I appreciate you reaching out to let me know it was enjoyed. Your farm tomatoes have been well served!

A perfect recipe although I forgot the honey and it would have been a good addition. The cloves added a nice touch and the amount of cayenne and pepper flakes were perfect for us. I forgot to get crème fraiche or heavy cream so I combined some yogurt and sour cream. I’m not a tomato soup fan but I had the most exquisite farm fresh tomatoes and this was a great way to use up a few pounds! Yum.

In reply to Liz. Glad you enjoyed it, Liz! And absolutely, not many better ways to use up a large quantity of soft tomatoes..

Hi Audrey – having a huge number of very soft tomatoes needing to be dealt with, I made this soup. Very easy and absolutely delicious! Thank you so much.
