Creamy Tomato Basil Soup Recipe
When I was putting together the Best Soup Recipes post, I realized that I had not given this soup the respect it deserves by giving it it’s own blog post. So, here you go. I’d like to thank those of you who have already tried this recipe and taken the time to contact me with your feedback. This makes a very thick and creamy soup. If you want a slightly thinner soup, add butter in increments of 2 tablespoons until you reach the desired consistency. This also make a lot of soup since I was making it for a party of eight. We had a lot of leftovers too. So, feel free to halve this recipe if you’re not feeding an army. INGREDIENTS 2 Tbs. olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
2 (28 oz. cans crushed tomatoes) If you can find the canned Jersey Fresh Tomatoes which I just discovered definitely use them. I think this really made the recipe.
10 cups tomato juice
1 head of roasted garlic
2 cups packed sweet basil leaves, torn or chiffonade
2 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 1/4 cups butter
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Saute onion in olive oil until tender. Add tomatoes and juice and simmer for 30 to 45 minutes. Add basil and garlic and puree with stick blender. Stir in heavy cream and butter. Salt and pepper to taste. Yummo! Serve with lots of crusty bread for dipping.

Still haven’t tried to make it yet, but I sure do remember having it last year – YUM! – John
I tried this recipe and it was not a success for me. I followed the recipe exactly, down to the recommended products, and I think this had too strong of a rich, bland tomato taste. This did not taste like any Tomato Basil soup I have had. I kept going back to the recipe because it seemed as though it was missing something? There just was no other flavor besides the rich tomato flavor. I finally had to use other recipes online to get additional ingredients to make it edible. Not sure where I went wrong, but definitly not what I was expecting.
