  Really really easy. I use fresh cherry tomatoes instead of tinned as I live in China and can't buy them. Do you think it would taste weird if you added cream cheese?

  Delicious and really easy to make. I will definitely be making this regularly. I also added some lea & perrins after reading Jo's comment below which added to the flavour nicely.

  Quick and easy recipe. I left out the cream and kept it a little bit healthier. Will make again and again.

  I've made this several times and varied it slightly each time. Last time I didn't have any celery so I added a red pepper instead and left out the basil. It looked and tasted delicious. Next time I will roast the red peppers. The store cupboard ingredients make it easy to make when you need a quick and tasty lunch.

  Forgot to say that I didn't use cream - sometimes I use low fat Greek yoghurt or creme fraiche or it tastes just as good without any.

  Lovely soup, even the dog enjoyed it. The lid wasn't on the blender properly and he got what was splashed on the floor. I doubled up and used a tin of tomatoes with garlic and one tomato and basil. Also added a bit tomato puree and a pinch of sugar.

  This is one of the best soup recipes I have came across. I made the base, blitzed and had a quick taste before adding the cream and it was so rich and creamy that I felt it was perfect without the cream! I also added some chilli power to give it some spice. 5 stars.

  Watch out for the sugar level on the tinned tomatoes you choose, the lower the better in my opinion. I added a good squirt of Tomato Puree, Basil Leaves, Pinch of Thyme and a pinch of Oregano and Mmmmmmmmm the longer you can resit it the more tasty it becomes. Hit with the teenage boy and perfect to use over Pasta for an alternative.

  This soup has become a firm favourite with me - it's super quick and easy but makes a satisfying and warming lunch. It's also really cheap to make, which is great! I use tinned tomatoes with basil already in them - much cheaper than buying basil separately, and have also made it with chicken stock instead when I ran out of vegetable stock! I usually add a squeeze of tomato puree just to give the flavour a boost. If I'm having this for lunch (often with bread) I find it easily lasts for 3 lunches - leftovers heat up just fine in a microwave and last for a few days if covered and kept cool.

  Love this soup! Have made it loads of times and it's always a winner. I add a sprinkling of finely grated Parmesan cheese instead of the Basil, yum :-)
