Creamy Tomato Basil Soup

March 16, 2015 by Marie Leave a Comment

Creamy Tomato Basil Soup

Today it snowed. Actually, it is still snowing, and that, to me, says we’re having soup for dinner. My favorite soups are typically Italian soups. One of my favorite Italian Soups is Creamy Tomato Basil Soup. It screams comfort, and as the name declares, it is riddled with my favorite herb on the entire planet…basil. I can’t get enough of it! I grow it year round, in a pot by my big window. My son has been designated to “feed” the plant, and I know in the back of his mind, he secretly trying to prove himself for the chance of a puppy. (Fat chance kid). This soup is very fresh, and very easy to make. If you’ve got an hour to simmer, this is one of the best homemade soups around.
