Creamy Tomato Basil Soup
Description
This soup starts with marinara sauce and canned Italian-style diced tomatoes simmered in chicken stock seasoned with oregano, dried basil, black pepper, salt, and garlic powder. After reaching a gentle boil, heavy cream, grated Parmesan, and freshly chopped basil are stirred in to enrich the base with creaminess and cheese flavor.
The result is a velvety, creamy tomato soup that balances the acidity of tomatoes with smooth dairy additions. Fresh basil adds a bright herbal aroma and taste, while the Parmesan lends a subtle savory depth. The soup is cooked over low heat after cream addition to meld flavors gently without curdling.
Creamy Tomato Basil Soup can be served warm with a sprinkle of extra Parmesan on top. It pairs well with crusty bread or grilled cheese sandwiches to complement its richness and provide textural contrast.
