  Big hit in our house. I also doubled tomato puree and tinned tomatoes. I only half blitzed it to give a semi-smooth texture. We will definitely have this again.

  Great recipe with the already suggested changes, I added some sugar and salt. I used baking soda but it still split, didn't affect the taste and the family enjoyed it.

  I doubled up the amount of tomatoes too, but also added a veg stock cube, a pinch of chilli flakes and a little cream in place of some milk. My family loved it. Very easy to make!

  Have made many times now as it the new fave in our house. Followed the suggestions, thanks to all for that, plus use veg stock powder and pinch of chilli flakes for depth. FAB.

  Made this soup for lunch today, absolutely gorgeous! Will definitely be making it again. After reading previous reviews I did add 1 tsp of sugar. Yummy!

  I am a huge fan of this website - and most of the dishes I've attempted, i've really loved ... I was looking forward to making this soup. However, I thought it tasted horrendous!! Yuk! ... and that was even after halving the amount of milk I was supposed to use ... I can only imagine using the portions the recipe suggests will result in a bowl of warm milk with a bit of tomato colouring! .... For me, personally, I think this could be a good recipe - but only when seriously modified ... I'm likely to try it again - with the a stronger tomato/basil base - and will add potatoes (which give a creamy consistency when blended) ... then i'll probably only add about a quarter of the milk or creme fraiche.

  I have made this twice now - best with 1 tin tomatoes, 1 carton passata, 1/4 pt veg stock & 2 tbsp tomato puree. Serves 4 - 6. Both lovers of Heinz & fresh soup really rated it! Delighted I can now make proper 'comfort tomato soup'!

  Hmmm. I made it as the recipe said the first time, and it was awful - all it tasted of was hot red milk! I ended up throwing in a carton of passata and loads more tomato puree. I needed a huge pinch of baking powder, cos it did curdle a little, but once I'd finished playing, it was lovely and the basil tasted so fresh - I'll definitely make it again, only with less milk next time.

  Definitely the best home-made tomato soup I've tried. Put in extra puree, and a touch of brown sugar. Only used 1/2 the milk as I was worried about losing the taste and colour, but it was lovely and creamy still. Even my husband really liked it, and usually he will only eat a certain brand of well known tomato soup!
