Considering how low calorie this is - it was pretty good. I have so many tomatoes in my garden that this was a perfect way to use them up. I enjoyed the fresh basil mixed in at the end, although my DH and I both added cayenne and lots of fresh ground pepper because it was fairly bland as written, even 13yo DS called this 'dull.' All in all it's a very healthy and low-cal soup thats very versatile.
