Homemade Tomato-Basil Soup with Cheese Toasts image

I really love the Tomato Basil soup from La Madeleine but it has a lot of butter and cream in it and this sounded like a healthier alternative. I got the recipe from the grocery store where I shop.

This soup was terrible! The flavor was awful and the texture was gross. I threw it out after one bite.

This soup was a disappointment. I thought it would be more flavorful, but it was actually quite bland. I won't be making this again.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup turned out watery. I'm not sure what I did wrong. The flavor was good, but the texture was off.

This soup is good, but not great. I thought the flavor was a bit bland. I added some extra salt and pepper and it helped a little bit, but it still wasn't as flavorful as I would have liked.
