  A very quick and easy recipe which works out far cheaper than any of the tinned soups. I skipped the cream and added a couple of squirts of tomato puree.

  I made this at the weekend and it was so easy & very tasty. I used passata with chili which gave a nice kick to the soup. I also added less double cream.

  I've just tried this soup for the first time and loved it! It is sooo simple and easy to make and uses mostly ingredients I already had in the cupboard. It's pretty cheap and healthy! I have 1 year old twins and this is a perfect lunch option for me. Thank you so much for sharing!

  Quick, easy and really more delicious than you would think. You can rustle it up from mostly store-cupboard ingredients too. I would say that the portions are not large - if you're making it for dinner then double the quantities then you'll have enough for two large bowls plus enough left over for one lunch the next day. I've made it for a dinner party starter - adding in some roasted cherry tomatoes towards the end to give it an extra kick. A teaspoon of sugar doesn't hurt either.

  I made this soup for lunch today, it is really tasty and filling too. When it was in the pot cooking I was a bit concerned that it would turn out like a pasta sauce but the finished soup is looks and tastes very different once it has been through the blender. Usually I blend soups with a hand blender but this soup had done in a food processor., which gave it a lovely smooth texture. The recipe is quick and very easy. I made a couple of changes as suggested by others - swapping the cream for low fat Crème fraîche, adding Worcestershire Sauce and seasoning with black pepper.

  I add a level teaspoon of sugar to combat the acidity of the tomato. I also add a few drops of Lee & Perrins sauce and about three teaspoons of Soy sauce which also helps reduce the acid taste of the tomatos.
