Tomato Basil Soup

Tomato Basil Soup & Grilled Cheese make the most amazing combination

Hurricane season is here which means the weather went from 89 a few days ago to 65 today. That is basically winter weather for us!  With the cooler weather comes warmer meals at home!  I love soup weather so much that I've been known to cut the AC down so that it felt more Chili appropriate.  😬😂
Hands down my absolute favorite soup recipe is my tomato basil soup.  It is seriously the easiest thing to make, takes about 5-10 minutes total and tastes like it's from a lovely little bistro!
While this tomato basil soup is great alone, I must insist it be paired with at least 1/2 of the perfect buttery grilled cheese. Honestly it takes longer to make the grilled cheese than the soup but it's all worth it, I promise. 
This soup will keep for several days in the fridge.  I don't recommend freezing, you probably can, but there's a very slim chance any will be leftover.

Tomato Basil Soup 
Recipe serves 4  and can easily be doubled!

Ingredients
  • 1 large can of whole tomatoes if you do not have a blender you can use crushed tomatoes (I strongly recommend san marzano style tomatoes)
  • 1/4 cup of heavy cream
  • 1 heaping Tablespoon of dried basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt
  • A pinch of crushed red pepper to taste (a little goes a very long way)
  • 2 Tablespoons of salted butter (optional)
Directions
  • Add first 5 ingredients to blender and blend until smooth. 
  • Transfer to a small pot on stove and bring to a simmer.
  • Add butter to melt and continue to stir. The soup should be a shade of orange red.  Taste and see if you want to add more cream or spices etc. 
  • Serve warm with small cuts of grilled cheese for dipping.

Love,
