  This is a quick and easy soup, but you could try adding smokey bacon before blitzing, make the soup nice and rich.

  Great recipe for a basic tomato soup. I add lea & perrins to add to the flavour. I have also used tinned tomatoes with garlic and herbs and changed the cream for low fat creme fraiche. Can be made without the celery. Lovely served with crusty bread.

  This is really very lovely and has a great texture when it's been through the blender. The boyfriend loves it too so it gets extra marks! I used a good chunk of garlic and made sure the veg really sweated down before adding the tomatoes to make sure the flavour was really strong.

  This soup is delicious and so easy! I always use creme fraiche rather than double cream. Sometimes needs a tiny bit of sugar x

  Lovely, used Greek basil and added 1 tbsp tomato puree, 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper, 1 dessert spoonful sugar and a dash of Worcestershire sauce to enhance the flavour. Very moreish, had to have second helpings!

  Lovely soup. I used low fat natural yoghurt instead of double cream and added a splash of balsamic vinegar. Will definately make this again.

  A tasty soup, if you want it to have a richer tomato taste add some tomato puree, but it is great as it is. We didn't add the cream, so it was syn free for me and my slimming world!
