Tomato Basil Soup

Fall officially arrives on September 22, and with that comes time for all of my favorite soups that I have prepared over the years. The one in particular that my family loves, and is super easy and so delicious is my Tomato Basil.

This is a super easy soup you will love. It’s great for simple dinner parties that will make your guests think you have been cooking in the kitchen for hours, but only takes about 30 minutes.

INGREDIENTS

Whole tomatoes Olive oil Onions Garlic cloves Real butter Red pepper flakes Oregano Veggie broth Fresh basil leaves

INSTRUCTIONS

Start with the olive oil, butter and chopped onion in a 5 quart Dutch oven pot. Add a little salt to the onion and olive oil.

This will help sweat out the onions. Cook this on a medium heat. When the onions look translucent, add the red pepper flakes, oregano, and chopped garlic.

Stir this mixture well until mixture looks sautéed and soft. Add in the cans of whole tomatoes, and sauté for about 15 min.

Then add in the 4 cups of veggie stock and 4 cups of whole basil leaves. Stir well and cover to cook for 30 min on medium heat. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Now that the base of the soup is done cooking, remove the pot off the heated stove, take an immersion blender into the pot and cream all the tomatoes to the consistency that you like.
