I found this soup to be a bit too thick. I would recommend adding more liquid, such as broth or water.

This soup was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had added more garlic and basil.

I made a few changes to this recipe, but it still turned out great. I used a different type of tomatoes and added a bit of spice. I also served it with a side of grilled cheese sandwiches.
