You can pick the flavor profile by the marinara sauce you choose. I would suggest you get your favorite brand of marinara and then turn it into this creamy and delicious tomato soup.
I also love that you can choose the sugar levels in this soup. If you want to make a lower sugar soup, I would suggest getting a no sugar added marinara sauce and then adjusting this recipes sugar to the level you want.
