Instructions
- Place the tomatoes, tomato juice, and basil in a soup pot or large saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil. Then reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
- Add the butter and heavy cream. Stir and cook until the butter is melted.
- Puree the soup in small batches in a blender or food processor, or use a hand-held immersion blender to puree the soup in the pot.
- Return the soup to the pot and bring to a simmer.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Garnish the soup with basil leaves, and serve it with your favorite bread.
Notes
- Soup Variations
- You can substitute the 4 cups of tomato juice with vegetable stock, and/or chicken stock if desired. Here are my recommended variations.
- Swapping out all of the tomato juice takes away from the tomato flavor of the soup. I typically make the soup with all tomato juice, or half tomato juice, and half chicken stock.
- Excerpted from an article by Beverly Bundy of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram around May 20, 1994.
- 2 cups tomato juice and 2 cups of chicken stock - I personally think the flavor is more well-rounded this way.
- 2 cups tomato juice and 2 cups of vegetable stock - perfect for when you want the soup vegetarian and not vegan.
