anyone know of a good homemade tomatoe soup recipe?

[Auntmeanie]

some friends of mine made what they called homemade campbell's tomato soup from a recipe a few years ago, and now they cant find the recipe for it anywhere... it was sooo goooood, and it did taste like the canned only way better....does anyone know of such a thing? she said it did have red peppers in it but that is all she can remember... also she thought that the gal that gave it to her got it out of an OLD red and white checkered betty crocker cook book... its not much to go on, but let me tell you if we can find it its worth the trouble! thanks, AM
