Tomato basil soup is one of my favorite soups. I've experimented with a few different recipes but this recipe is probably my favorite and is very easy to make and doesn't require many ingredients or cooking time.
Ingredients:
4 cups canned whole tomatoes
4 cups tomato juice
1 cup heavy whipping cream
14 basil leaves, chopped
1/4 cup sweet unsalted butter
black pepper to taste
What To Do:
1. Combine whole tomatoes and tomato juice in pan. Simmer on medium-low heat for 15 minutes.
2. Carefully pour tomato mixture into blender or food processors and add in basil leaves. Blend well for 2 minutes.
3. Return mixture to pan and add in heavy cream, butter, and cracked black pepper. Simmer over medium-low heat for an additional 10-15 minutes stirring occasionally.
You can garnished with shredded cheese which I didn't do this time around since it was just a quick lunch whip together for the two of us (with lots of leftovers).
