the easiest tomato soup from almost scratch is
a tiny can of tomato paste (which if you get a
decent brand is tomato only). then you can add
whatever spices and thickeners you want (or none
at all) and adjust the other liquids to taste.

some people may taste the umami from tomatoes
as sweet too (not all people are alike in how
they taste/smell things).
