Rated 2 out of 5 by ckres from Very bland Way too watery and very bland. Had to add more tomatoes and a half of onion. Sprinkled some parmesan cheese also.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Melissabarbs from Needs improvement I agree, it’s very watery. I did put 3 cloves of garlic in, so it had a garlicky punch. But this recipe definitely needs tweaking. Also I didn’t achieve the colour of the soup that’s in the picture! Definitely been photoshopped!

Rated 4 out of 5 by PQPantrySan from Good base recipe easily adapted This recipe was incredibly easy to make. One of my first recipes. I had to adapt to accommodate the limited ingredients on hand. Used diced roasted tomatoes, fresh Roma, tomato paste, granulated garlic, fresh basil. Added salt and pepper to taste. Family enjoyed!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Piotr from Great after tweaking I skipped canned tomatoes and used only fresh ones, added one courgette, half an onion and a bit of chilli flakes. Came out very nice, spicy, creamy. I skipped beans as well and added a bit of cooked minced pork, was a good choice for a carnivore.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Jj2019 from Tomatoe soup Tomato soup was good. I will leave out the chick peas next time (made soup chuncky)and add a jar of roasted red peppers. Added Parmesan on top and it gave the soup a nice punch.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Spooky from Bland Did not care for it at all. Little flavor. Cooled it before pureeing.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Paxton31 from Pretty watery I didn't care for this soup. I added some red pepper flakes to give it a bit of a bite, which it did. However, the soup lacked body. I also topped it off with a bit of parmesan.
