  I would definately make this soup again and again. It is so easy, but the finished result it fantastic! I'm glad I read the coments posted before making it though, because the soup was wonderfully creamy with the creme fraiche added.

  ideal if you're feeling lazy and don't want to make the soup with all fresh ingredients from scratch. Probably would be bland without following modifications I successfully tried. - added approx 6oz cherry tomatoes - added a stick of celery with the onion - tripled the tomato puree - reduced milk to 400ml - added a touch of dark brown sugar - dollop of pesto - goats cheese crumbled in at the end Ummm... which kind of makes it a different recipe altogether! Good base soup recipe though.

  Delicious! I doubled up on the tomatoes and the puree, and I also only used about 400ml of milk. Was really tasty, I'll make this again!

  I don't like creamy soups, so I left out the milk and it made it taste a lot fresher! but that's just to my taste, I'm sure if I had made it for any body else they would insist on having the thickness from the milk :) really tasty and PERFECT with crusty olive bread that's been slightly warmed in the oven. yum!

  You will have gathered by now that the original recipe is a bit bland and needs tweeking. I have tried most of the previous suggestions and I would suggest that if you want a really tomato-ey soup, not too creamy try the following changes: Double the amount of tomato puree suggested, 1 tin cherry tomatoes, a few chilli flakes, instead of 600ml of milk I used 300ml veg stock (Bouillion), 200ml V8 Vegetable juice and 100ml milk. Please try it, you will love it.

  I've reviewed this before, but I'm editing my binder and was having a read thru a number of my recipes and thought I would add a thought. I seem to have a lot in my binder like this, the recipe is not actually that great but contains a good idea ie the bicarb+milk. But follow the reviews and you will get a tasty soup, low in fat that you can eat everyday if you like. If you want a rich, treat of a tomato soup, find another recipe. You need to double the tomatoes and halve the milk. Sugar, seasoning stock, chilli etc is really to taste. The best thing about this website is the other users and their reviews, I wonder sometimes how some of the recipes make their way in at all until I try them with some of the excellent suggestions made and voila!

  Couldn't believe how good this was! First made this for friends - round the table with a BIG pot of this and some fresh crusty bread...heaven! Have made many times since. As per other reviews, I doubled the tomatoes and added seasoning and it was perfect!

  A good economical basic recipe, although as others have said it definitely needs tweaking to stop it from being bland. I had to triple the puree and reduce the amount of milk and add loads of salt and black pepper, next time I will also add another tin of tomatoes. Great baking soda tip though!

  Doubled the tomato and the soup was great! I also made some garlic bread rolls which went well with it.

  After the rave reviews I was expecting something a bit more than tomato flavoured milk! That was even with 2 tins chopped tomatoes. I had to rescue this with half a tube of tomato puree and lots of herbs and seasoning. The consistency is a little too thin for me too.

  good base for a soup but as I didnt use the extra tomato as recommended by others it was very bland. Would try again using more tomato as I liked the idea of the soda it did make it creamy

  I made this soup on Christmas morning as one of our starters, we added plenty of seasoning and a little bit of cream to make it a bit smoother to taste, everyone loved the soup. What a great quick and simple to make soup this is!!!!! Served with freah baked bread just to finish it off.

  Really really nice!! I would go further than adding the double portions of tomatoe as others have said (a bit more paste) One thing to remember is do mix the baking soda and milk well! A great recipe!
