I love this basil tomato soup. Even my husband likes it, and he says he doesn't like tomatoes!

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 9 servings

  • 2 (28 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes

  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can chicken broth

  • 18 fresh basil leaves, or more to taste, finely chopped

  • 1 teaspoon white sugar

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

  • ½ cup butter

Directions

  1. Stir together tomatoes and chicken broth in a large saucepan; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook at a simmer until slightly reduced, about 10 minutes.

  2. Stir in basil and sugar; reduce heat to low and continue cooking until basil is wilted, about 5 minutes.

  3. Stir cream into tomato mixture; add butter and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until butter is completely melted, 5 to 7 minutes more.

Cook's Note:

If I don't have whipping cream, I use skim milk and still have great results.
