Out of several we have, this is one of our favorites. A note of caution... It'll serve between 8 to 10 people, so you can either halve the recipe... but we make it as is so we can freeze the left over which works very well. We use our home canned tomatos from the garden but one can use store-bought just as well. Additionally, we've found (we're in the U.S.) that a small tablespoon of sour cream as a topping just as it's dished up is a nice touch and adds a little zing...

3 quarts canned tomatoes with juice or 14 large, ripe fresh tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and coarsely chopped
1/2 cup finely chopped parsley
6 leaves fresh basil, optional
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Directions
Heat the oil and butter in a heavy kettle. Cook the carrots, celery, and onions for about 20 minutes, or until very tender.

I used to make a tomato soup which was basically tinned tomatoes and tinned beans added together with stock and seasoning and you blended it and stirred in cheese at the end, can't remember the quanities unfortunately, but I think that it was 2 tins of tomatoes and 1 of beans and I guess you could sort the level of stock out depending on the consistency, remembering that the cheese will thicken it a bit.
Sounds dreadful, but take my word for it, it was great!
