Forget Campbell's Tomato Soup. This is a quick and easy way to make your own homemade tomato soup from scratch. If you prefer your soup not quite so thick leave out the flour.

Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices such as basil, rosemary or thyme instead of, or along with the oregano.
