I am so happy to share with you one of the most delicious tomato soup recipes I have had in a long time. This soup is flavorful, creamy and so easy to put together. You just pour everything in a pot, and let the flavors melt together. The only “work” you have to do is mince some garlic and grate some parmesan cheese.
It is not everyday that you can find a homemade recipe that tastes like you spent the entire day making it, and it really took no time at all. This soup is just that. I present to you Creamy Tomato Basil Soup!
Tomorrow, I will share with the grilled cheese sandwich that is a perfect addition to this soup. Hint: It is simply amazing!!
