Old Man Rafferty's Tomato Basil Soup image

I was craving this restaurant's tomato basil soup today, but have only five bucks to my name. So I decided to try and make it with the ingredients that I had on hand. The result was very good.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup turned out burnt. I think I'll try again next time.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover tomatoes. I always have a few extra tomatoes on hand, so this recipe is perfect for me.

This soup is a bit too rich for my taste. I think I'll try making it with skim milk next time.

I'm not a fan of basil, so I omitted it from the recipe. The soup still turned out great!

I'm allergic to tomatoes, so I made this soup with roasted red peppers instead. It turned out great!

This recipe is a great starting point, but I like to add my own twist to it. I often add some roasted red peppers or a bit of spice.

I followed the recipe exactly and my soup turned out watery and bland. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This soup is just okay. It's not bad, but it's not great either. I think it needs more seasoning.

I'm not a huge fan of tomato soup, but this recipe changed my mind. It's so creamy and flavorful, and the basil really brightens it up. I'll definitely be making this again.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and always turns out delicious. I often add some extra vegetables, like carrots or zucchini, to make it even more hearty.
