So I changed it up. I changed the recipe to 4 servings. I used 2 cans of diced tomatoes instead of fresh tomatoes. I drained the tomatoes to sautee them then used the drained liquid plus a little water instead of the vegetable broth. I followed the rest of the instructions – except at the end I used my hand held blender to puree the mixture to end up with a thick tomato soup. It was delicious!! What a great recipe. The hot sauce is a key ingrediant because it really elevates the soup. Great job! We will be making this soup for a long time to come! I finished it with a dollap of greek yogurt and served with the swiss chard cheese muffins. My husband was a huge fan as was I. Oh – the serving size – changing it four resulted in 2 soup bowl servings.
