Hearty Cream of Tomato Basil Soup

"This is a recipe I found online, but altered slightly to my own taste. This is an awesome soup for a cold winter day. Fresh baked bread goes well with this soup and it's hearty enough to serve for dinner."

  1. The ingredients, proportions and directions for this soup are almost identical to the one a co-worker recently brought to a soup potluck at work. The only difference is that she used 2 (8 oz) cans of condensed tomato soup and 2 undrained cans of diced tomatoes. Everything else was the same. I was going to post her recipe because I loved it when she brought it to work and so many people asked for the recipe that she typed it out and left a stack of copies in the staff lounge for everyone. The taste of the basil really came through and the soup has a nice, thick texture. I will definitely be making this recipe. It was wonderful! Thanks!
     
  2. Wonderful! I used one can of stewed tomatoes and one can of diced tomatoes. I increased the basil, and added in some Italian Seasoning, Onion Powder, and a little Garlic Pepper. I served this with Turkey-Bacon Tortilla Wraps for supper last night. Even my husband, who isn't much of a soup person, enjoyed this soup. I'll be making this again... thanks for sharing!

I am a 27 year old house wife. I love to cook, especially in the winter. I enjoy painting, sculpting, reading, and playing with my 22 month old daughter. I remember sitting on the kitchen counter as a young girl watching my mom cook her fabulous meals. She never minded having me hang around the kitchen while she cooked, and I think that is why I like cooking so much now. I hope that the few recipes I have entered are helpful to some of you out there, but if you're looking for low fat recipe's, stay away from mine :)
