Tomato Veggie and Basil Soup

Submitted by Busy Lindsay

"I love tomato basil soup but added the zucchini and yellow squash to make it a little more hearty. It is great without the zucchini and squash too. You can also leave out the red pepper and olive oil if you prefer. This is great with grated parmesaen cheese on top and a piece of garlic bread on the side."
