We really enjoyed this recipe. I made a couple changes, but I don't think it really affected the flavor of the soup - just made it a bit healthier really. I used petite diced tomatoes for the crushed tomatoes. At the end, I smushed it with a potato masher to get a bit smoother texture -though still pretty chunky! I used fat-free half and half in place of the cream, and because I didn't have any fresh basil, I added some Italian spice mix. It was fabulous with a panini and we will definitely make it again!

I am an ugly Scandinavian kid, hence the fact there is no picture, lol. I enjoy kung-fu, drawing, playing guitar and piano, and creating recipes. I haven't tried any of them but 99% of the time they turn out great, so don't be hesitant! Lol. I'm planning on getting my GED (because school stinks) when I'm 15 and become a designer of cell phones. (Sr. Java Developer to be more specific), and maybe open a few restaurants here and there. So yeah.
