Tomato Basil Soup
Report
Tomato basil soup is a healthy classic that's simple to make from scratch and full of flavor! It only takes just over half an hour. The whole family will enjoy it as the temperatures drop and the evenings become crisper.

Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium onion (chopped)
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 1 dash Italian seasoning
- 2 (28 fluid ounce) whole San Marzano tomatoes with juices, canned
- 1.5 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (or to taste)
- 12 leaves basil torn, fresh
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Add the oil, butter, and onion to a soup pot over medium-high heat. Sauté the onion for 5-7 minutes or until it's lightly browned.
- Stir in the garlic and Italian seasoning, followed by the tomatoes and chicken broth.
- Increase the heat to high and bring the soup to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 8 minutes, covered, with the lid slightly ajar.
- Blend the soup (I like to use an immersion blender) until it's smooth (you may want to let it cool a little bit first). Stir in the cream and basil and season with salt & pepper as needed.
Notes
- I recommend using the canned whole San Marzano tomatoes (it's a variety of tomatoes available from different brands). They're great for cooking with and have wonderful flavor.
