This soup is the perfect way to use up leftover tomatoes. It's also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids loved it!

So creamy and flavorful! I used fresh tomatoes from my garden and they really made the soup taste amazing. I also added a little bit of chopped spinach for extra nutrition.

Followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great! I was worried it might be too acidic, but the cream and basil mellowed it out perfectly. Served it with a grilled cheese sandwich and it was the perfect meal.

This creamy tomato basil bisque was absolutely delicious! The flavors were perfectly balanced and the texture was smooth and velvety. I added a little extra garlic and a pinch of red pepper flakes for a bit of a kick. It was the perfect comfort food
