This soup is delicious, colorful and quick. I keep the ingredients on hand for a fast meal with a loaf of crusty bread. It's also good warmed up the next day—if there's any left! —Jayne Dwyer-Reff of Fort Wayne, Indiana

I love that it tastes great and is so quick to make! I added a few red peppers cut up and a cup more water.

I did not care for this soup, too bland for me ... not going to keep this one on file.

Excellent flavor, fast to make, easy. What's not to love?

I have made this many, many times - it's my absolute favorite! I use a can of petite diced tomatoes instead of fresh, and double up on both the basil and the balsmaic vinegar - yum! I was visiting my family in Georgia and made this for them - instant hit! My sister made it and added italian sausage - she said it was delicious that way too. You just can't beat the fresh basil flavor, and it's so easy!

Also, I use tri-color frozen tortellini to add color.

For more tomato flavor, I use 1 can low sodium diced tomatoes instead of the fresh tomato.

I made this for my dinner tonight. The four of us all agreed...not bad, but not so good, either. I won't be making this again.
