🍅 Homemade Tomato~Basil Soup! 🍅

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Beam & Branch Realty TREC #547752

The homegrown tomatoes and basil are in full bloom. This is when I love to make my famous, Tomato~Basil soup. It is so good and extremely good for you. And, the key to this recipe is using fresh ingredients.

I have had many different varieties of Tomato~Basil soup and often, people add too many spices that in my opinion, take away from the zesty, clean fresh taste of the tomatoes and basil. These two ingredients are the stars so keeping them the main thing is important.

Hope you enjoy!

That soup looks incredible. This one’s going in the rotation next time I’ve got fresh tomatoes on hand. Thanks for sharing Dr. Paula.

You won't regret it, Travis. Not too filling and leaves you feeling like you just ate some sunshine.

Paula this in one of my very favorite soups!  Love it!  And this recipe is a keeper.  I've never made this soup (oddly enough as I make a lot of soups) so this one will be a real treat for us and some friends.  Thanks!   You going to be writing a cook book soon?   How about entering the June Challenge and tell us all about it!  Fun.

BTW since I was home bound a bit this year I had a blast watching all kinds of fun cooking shows.  And like you, I'm one of those taste as you go chefs and see what else it might need.  Yum!!

Hi Paula- I love soup and could eat it every day!  Tomato Basil is a favorite of mine. It just so happens that my cousin brought a bag of tomatoes over today from her garden.

Good morning, Paula... thanks for sharing this recipe. I like tomato soup, but would have to adjust your recipe for the basil (not something I'm fond of).

I don't think I have ever had tomato basil soup, but I would certainly give yours a try, if offered a cup of it, haha.  I appreciate that you do things in a healthy manner!

Hello Dr. Paula McDonald -  I love soup!  I make a lot of soup in the Winter months and  veggie chili. Tomato is my least favorite yet I would eat your recipe in a heartbeat.
