Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium sweet onion, chopped
1 can ground peeled tomatoes
5 cups vegetable or chicken stock
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh basil, thinly sliced

Directions

Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 10 minutes. Add the tomatoes and the stock. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Cook until soup is slightly thickened, about 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the basil.

Place the pot of soup directly in sink, and using a stick blender, blend until smooth. Serve immediately.

I love this recipe because you can make it with whatever ingredients you have on hand. I only had stewed tomatoes and 4 cups... of stock but it was still fantastic. It's so full of flavor that you won't believe there are only a few ingredients in it. Read more

Love this recipe...so simple!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I love this recipe. It is so easy to make. The only thing I substitute is that I buy the canned crushed tomatoes with... basil, so no need for fresh basil. Then, right at the end of cooking, I add about 1/2 cup of heavy cream....yumo!Read more

TOMATO BASIL SOUP
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was extremely easy to make and best of all, delicious. I used San Marzano Crushed Peeled tomatoes and fresh basil. My... soup tasted fresh, light, and full of flavor. The fresh basil was not overpowering and this will be a recipe I will use for years to come. My 4 sons love tomato soup and I cannot wait to introduce this to them. They love new recipes and have a great sense of taste. I will double this recipe next time and serve it with fresh baked seasoned italian bread. MMM MMM.. I cannot wait. Thank you!Read more
