Very simple and tasty soup to accompany some warm crusty bread and a salad. I used sake in place of white wine because I was out, and the flavor was fine. I also added some salt (for the tomatoes), milk (or soy milk - for a bit of a thicker consistancy) and chopped zucchini, squash and carrots (for a more substantial "bite"). Everyone loved the "spice" aftertaste. Wonderful!

This is a quick and easy soup to make. It tastes great! I like to add cooked noodles whenever I make it

This is some of the best soup I've ever had in my life. I LOVE soup so I don't say this lightly!! Easy to prepare and ready fast. The only change I made was adding a little bit extra garlic and fresh basil (use 2xs as much). SO SO SO GOOD I am fighting myself to not eat it all!***Edit*** I also like to top this with croutons and fresh parmesan cheese. It's also very good if you put it in a blender (I use a hand blender) and puree it with a bit of cream. Just be sure to remove the bay leaf!
