I loved this soup! And it was healthy, which makes it even better, fits in great with my Weight Watchers plan. I'll definitely make this again. The only things I did differently from the original recipe: used canned diced organic tomatoes instead of fresh, pureed it to smooth it out and served with a little bit of Parmesan cheese on top. Yum!

This is the second tomato soup I tried on here. The first one had cream and it was good, this one doesn't and it is fantastic. The cream dilutes the flavors of the basil and garlic, which I love. Can't wait to try with fresh basil!

I had never had tomato soup before because it just didn't sound good. But this soup is really great. I used a can of diced tomatoes, and I added a tablespoon of worcestershire sauce and a tablespoon of sugar. My husband even loved this soup and he doesn't really like tomatoes.

The soup was a little to thick and actually made a great sauce for pasta. I originally used it with some homemade Italian soup bread bowls. Very tasty

While this is not the yummiest tomato soup, made as is, it is definately the lowest calorie tomato soup and still tasty. Worth making for sure.

This was my first try at home made soup. It was out of this world. Restaurant quality flavor. My wife raved about it, I loved it. Fantastic. Can't wait to make it again.

Made this for dinner picture tonight. Big hit with the famiy, however I adapted to my tastes and ingredients on hand. I used fresh tomato and herbs (basil, oregano & parsley). I peeled and seeded the tomatoes. I added a bit of feta and blended it smooth with the immersion blender. Also used more wine and subbed tomato juice for some of the broth. Also used honey instead of sugar. (processed sugar bad).

We tried this tonight. Excellent. I changed the recipe slightly to get more veggies and taste. I put in 3 cloves of garlic and a 1/4 cup of finely minced baby carrots. Since half of my family likes cream of tomato soup and half does not I added about a 1/4 cup of milk to those who liked creamy soup. I tasted the soup both ways and loved it. We loved it so much that we are going to the store to buy more tomatoes and will used up the last of the basil from my garden to freeze some soup. YUM!! My pickiest child had two helpings!

It had a good flavor, but I didn't love it... definitely more sauce-y than soup-y. Even though I put diced potato in it (per another review), it was still pretty thin and way saltier than I expected - maybe dilute your broth or use a low-sodium variety. Cheers!

When I found this recipe, I was in one of those moods where I wanted to make it right away...But on checking, I never had all the ingredients. I substituted the fresh tomatoes for a bottle of passata and a tin of chopped tomatoes and a spoonful of tomato puree. I had dried herbs but I decided to add the fresh basil on it's own. It made enough for 6-8 people and everyone said it was fantastic and full of flavour. Thanks for posting.

This was a great lite soup. I used veggie broth because my daughter is a veg. My kids, who do not even eat sauce on there pasta, ate this with crutons. So easy to make! Will be making this again.

I make this soup often. It's easy and always a winner. I usually add more tomatoes and sometimes throw in canelini beans and wilted spinach.

I am only giving it four stars because I have a few suggestions that I think would make it a five star recipe. First I added a peeled and cubed potato and 1/4 cup cream. Then I blended it with the smoothie blender. It comes out very creamy with a nice thickness to it because of the pureed potato. I also might use vegetable broth instead of chicken next time.

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! One last thing, I always make this with (gasp) canned tomatoes!

I love making this with my boyfriend! The first time I made it, I couldn't really taste the tomato or the other spices over the basil, so I usually cut the amount of basil in half and don't let it simmer as long. Other than that, this soup goes wonderfully with a sliced Italian bread and olive oil.

That this recipe is low-calorie and low-fat is a bonus. This is one soup I would prepare even if healthy eating wasn't a concern. It is perfectly constructed, nothing you would find out of a can. This one goes into my favorites and no doubt will be one I will remember for the rest of my life. I wouldn't change a thing. It's perfect.

Great tomato soup recipe. The spices give it that "grown-up" flavor missing from the old standard can. I used a hand smoothie blender to puree the tomatoes at the end of cooking to give it a thicker, heartier quality. It was great!

I hate to be the one bad review, but I thought this tasted like watered down spaghetti sauce. As spaghetti sauce it was really good (I strained it and used it as such last night--my family loved it). As a soup, not so good.
