This recipe not only is watery it tastes extremely watery…..not what I was looking for in a tomato basil soup. Wasted my ingredients. Also the size of the tomato can is missing. Will look for a recipe that better meets my taste
Great taste, simple, ready fairly quick.
I added 1.5 cup vegetable broth and one can – 1.5 cups diced tomatoes and it turned out just right .
This recipe is very vague, but I tried it with a 28 oz can of tomatoes. Other reviewers mentioned that it was watery, so I used half the suggested amount of stock. It was still extremely watery, so I added a large Yukon potato which made it taste a lot better. I also recommend adding more spices such as oregano garlic and crushed red pepper as this recipe is a bit bland.
I’m giving this five stars because I want you to try it. It is easy, elegant and potentially delicious….BUT…it needs 1/4 tsp. of red pepper flakes to take it to FABULOUS! You will be a star if you make this one little adjustment!
Hi there Everybody, I love tomato soup with basil it brings back so many memories.
you know nothing like Grandma’s soup right?
I wasn’t sure about the tomato so i used 4 cups fresh tomatoes, cored, peeled, and chopped (8-10) or canned whole tomatoes, crushed, and added some garlic and i was good to go.

they have a lot of Soup recipes.
Since I wasn’t sure about the tomato measurement, I used a 28 oz can of crushed tomatoes with Italian seasonings. I also added 3 cloves of garlic and the flavor turned out great! A little on the watery side, so I would use less stock, but overall an easy, cheap, and delicious soup.
HOW MUCH TOMATO FOR THE AMOUNT OF STOCK AND OTHER INGREDIENTS? THIS WOULD CHANGE THE CONSISENCY AND TASTE A GREAT DEAL.
I tried this recipe and enjoyed it very much. I am vegan so I used Veg. stock.
This recipe is so easy and quick I will make it all the time and for company as well. Thank you for posting this recipe.
