I have to admit that as written, this didn't work that well for me ... but it depends entirely on the quality of the canned tomatoes, doesn't it? I used Whole Foods diced tomatoes with basil and garlic added. The soup was OK but not great. But I do think I can doctor it and make it much better (just using a variety of herbs, garlic, and a bit more salt). But I love the fact that this is SO, SO easy to make, and I love tomato soup, so coming up with a good, low-fat tomato soup is a great thing. I'll definitely keep playing around with this, and try different brands of tomatoes and spices. Thanks for posting this!
