such a bad recipe

Way too sweet. I'd add 1tsp of sugar, or even a pinch, next time. Cherry tomatoes are sweet anyway. Still tasty and used plant cream instead of mascarpone.

Used sweetener instead of sugar and it was horrible haha. Can’t wait to try again with less to none as it’s a super simple recipe which can be easy stored in the old noggin!

My kids love this, half the time we don’t have mascarpone and after blending we add alphabet vermicelli.

Lovely but way too soup. Will use half the sugar next time. I used a tin of chopped tomatoes and about 15 cherry tomatoes.

I meant to say way too sweet! Can’t seem to edit the comment.
