2. If I may ... I'm quite a bit of a soup-maker myself ... one tiny bit of advice ...

This recipe sounds awesome, but if it were me, I'd do it w/o the mushrooms until the soup stock 'tastes right', then I'd drop raw mushrooms into it for about the last 10-15 minutes.

Turning a stock of freshly blended tomatoes and onions and herbs and such into a proper tasting 'soup' takes on the order of 1.5-2 hours of simmering.

That's a lot a time to cook mushrooms, esp when they're sauteed first.

In my experience, they'll tend to get quite rubbery ...

Hope I'm not stepping on toes, I just make soup A LOT, it's like my fave thing to make

3. Juju and i were talking it over on Twitter and realized that

if you took some basic corn tortilla's you can cut them up and add them to the mix...and make it into a tortilla soup... maybe with a touch of something spicy (like a little Mexican hot sauce) and it should be good to go as well! Enjoy!
