You can use any kind of tomatoes, just be aware that they will affect the color of the soup. If you happen to have yellow tomatoes, choose a yellow or orange pepper and then finely mince the basil and stir it in by hand to create a prettier color. If you don't have white balsamic vinegar, try apple cider vinegar or sherry vinegar. If you don't have citrus-flavored olive oil, add some lemon zest and a squeeze of lemon juice.
