I <3 my immersion blender
Why did I never use this thing before???? I wish I knew about it earlier! I had one for a brief time to make baby food for DS when he was younger and DH put it in the dishwasher and ruined it. I bought another one again and just made tomato soup with it and it is AWESOME!

Its a weight watchers one. It was OK. I thought there was a little too much thyme though (and I didnt use the 1 tbsp of fresh for garnish). Otherwise it was pretty good. I substituted the tomatoes for 2 14.5 oz cans of diced tomatoes. Here is the recipe :)
Ingredients
1 spray(s) cooking spray
2 medium leek(s), chopped (white parts only)
8 medium tomato(es), ripe, beefsteak, cored and chopped (about 3 lbs)
1 tsp dried thyme
1 leaf/leaves bay leaf
4 cup(s) vegetable broth
12 oz fat-free evaporated milk
1/4 Tbsp basil, fresh, chopped
1/8 tsp table salt, or to taste
1/8 tsp black pepper, freshly ground, or to taste
1 Tbsp thyme, fresh, fresh (for garnish)
Instructions
Coat a large saucepan with cooking spray and set pan over medium heat. Add leeks and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, thyme and bay leaf; cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes break down, about 5 minutes.
Add broth and reduce heat to low; simmer, covered, 10 minutes. Remove from heat and remove bay leaf.
Puree tomato mixture in saucepan using an immersion blender. Or, working in batches, puree tomato mixture in a blender until smooth (be careful not to splatter hot liquid); return puree to saucepan and set pan over low heat. Add milk and simmer 1 minute to heat through. Remove from heat and stir in basil; season to taste with salt and pepper. Garnish with thyme and serve. Yields about 1 1/2 cups per serving.
