Very good. We really enjoyed this soupt. -
Very good! Perfect for using up some tomatoes a friend gave me. I adjusted the sugar/salt/pepper to my taste. And also, used fresh basil instead of tarragon. Mmmmm great served with a sprinkle of parmesan! -
What good soup! An excellent combination of herbs and the touch of ginger is lovely. It's very good as written and very good with the addition of milk/cream for a 'cream of tomato' soup version. It's also nice garnished with a swirl of creme fraiche.
