Taste and texture:

This soup is so rich and creamy. It blends the flavours of cherry tomatoes, basil and coconut milk to give this soup a slightly sweet yet savoury flavour. This soup is not spicy.

Key ingredients and substitutions:

• Cherry tomatoes - cherry tomatoes are the key to this soup recipe. They are more sweet and flavourful than other types of tomatoes which is why this soup is so delicious. I used red cherry tomatoes but you could use other colours of cherry tomatoes to make this soup if you have them (just note that this would change the colour of the soup). Instead of cherry tomatoes you can also use grape tomatoes or baby tomatoes to make this soup.
• Coconut milk - I recommend using full fat coconut milk to make this soup because it helps make it so rich and creamy while low fat coconut milk is more watery and won't give it as much flavour. When blended with the tomatoes the coconut milk helps give this soup such a delicious, slightly sweet flavour.
• Spices - basil, salt and pepper are the only spices you need to season this soup. Even though the seasonings are simple, they give this soup so much flavour. I used dried basil to make this soup but you could easily use fresh basil as well.
