I used vegetable broth instead of chicken, added about 1/4C parmesan cheese to the pot, more like a 1/4C or so of basil pesto and coarsely crushed black pepper. It was pretty runny for a tomato soup, so I added 1TB of cornstarch mixed with 1TB of water to thicken it up. Pretty good.

This wasn't bad. I'd give it 3 1/2 stars if I could. I don't know if I will make it again, it is runny and I like a thicker tomato soup. I did like the flavor that the pesto added to the soup. I think I will make a different recipe (I like the Rich and Creamy Tomato Basil Soup recipe on this site) and add some pesto. Thanks for the idea!

Good and fast tomato soup. I forgot to add the pesto and I'm sure it would be even better with it.

Wonderful! Only warning, I substituted whole milk for the cream(Cream is much better, just didn't have any in the house). If you also happen to substitute, do not add milk until soup has cooled. Otherwise you'll have curdled milk.

I sautéed an onion in the saucepot first and then added the stock and tomatoes. Rather than waiting for the chicken stock to reduce by 1/3 I drained the tomatoes to save time and I did also use closer to ¼ cup pesto. The hand blender worked perfectly to puree it right in the pot and the soup was delicious! Perfect for a rainy day! Next time I might have it with a grilled cheese sandwich and garnish with some fresh basil.

we fixed this recipe ALOT. instead of half and half we used grated cheese curd. that was a wondeful addition. we would also recommend more pesto. another change we made was putting orzo into the soup. it was a bit thin so we thought orzo might spice it up a bit. it sure did! definetly put orzo into this, it adds SO much to the flavor. best of all, this soup was fast and easy!!! we will definetly make this again!!

Good soup that seems to taste better after marinating as a left over. I like onions, so as the soup was simmering I sauted 1/2 onion that I then added to the soup after it went into the food processor. I've made this recipe in 2 different ways- 1st way was processing the tomatoes and then adding it to the broth and half & half. The 2nd way was as the recipe says to do it, processing it all at the end. The 2nd method is definitely better, as the half and half is homogenized this way.

I don't even like tomato soup, but I decided to give this a try for the family. It was delicious. I followed the recipe almost exactly. I added a bit more pesto and used zesty seasoned salt to taste instead of salt and pepper. Thanks for sharing. This will be a staple from now on.

I liked this - my husband did not. I think he liked the taste of it, but the texture turned him off because it's not as smooth and creamy as canned soup. I really liked the addition of the pesto. I will probably just do canned soup next time because of it's simplicity and just add pesto to it, and maybe some half & half. I did add the pesto to the whole pot instead of individual servings, but served each bowl with a bit of freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

I thought this was too sour. I added some sugar and tarragon in addition to what was called for, but it was still too sour.

Excellent, and so simple! I used my own basil pesto, which I keep in small jars in the freezer. I also prefer to puree the soup and THEN add cream when I return the soup to the pan. I added the pesto to the pan vs. each bowl. My husband's favorite soup now!
