  I doubled the amount of tomato puree and chopped tomatoes which gave it a richer, tomato-y flavor. Served it with a crusty bread. Definitely will make again soon.

  Would agree with Lauren and up the tomatoness, however the recipe did produce a lovely creamy soup!

  This was really quick and easy, unfortunately I didn't double the tomatoes so it was a little bland, will try that next time though!

  I took the tip from other reviewers to double up on the tomato content and I'm glad I did, I think it would have been bland otherwise. I also added a little vegetable bouillon powder to give it a bit more flavour. The method is super quick and easy though and I like the bicarb tip!

  I halved the tomatoes too, and added a spoon of sugar. Lovely but very sweet. I served mine with black pepper and shaved parmesan.

  Glad I read the comments before I made this soup, as did everything suggested, and it was lovely, my kids could not get enough which is great because it helps towards their 5 per day fruit and veg, I will definatley make this again.

  Great soup - although next time I would take everyones tip above about doubling the tomato content. One quick question - my milk did seem to curdle a little bit although I did everything to the letter - could anyone help - I did use bicarbonate soda, as I couldn't find baking soda, is this right? Many thanks

  I tasted a similarly delicious tomato soup in a local restaurant and vowed to find a recipe that would match it in taste and texture. I found it in this recipe. It is simply delicious and so easy to make.

  Fantastic soup. Kids loved it! Chopped and cooked some bacon at stage 1 with the onion and garlic. Adds a lovely extra hint of flavour. Also added extra toms!!

  Delicious. I also added extra tomatoes and tomato puree. Didn't have any fresh basil so threw in some dried. It was fine. Served the soup with a blob of creme fraiche and croutons mixed in with grated cheese - yum !

  doubled up on the ingredients as other reviewers, made a lovely soup but maybe a bit sharp. So I added the brown sugar suggested and now we can't get enough of this wonderful soup. Low Fat too always a bonus!
