Dangit Tomato Soup

I call this tomato soup, "Dangit" because I had several messy mishaps while making it. I'm sure nobody is surprised! It is the recipe that they serve at a restaurant near our house. 5 stars! Oh, another reason I call it "Dangit" is because I was supposed to take a picture of it to put up here and we ate it all before I got the picture taken- Dangit! Next time I make it, I will make sure to post a picture.
