MY AMAZING TOMATO BASIL SOUP (LIKE APPLEBEE'S®)



My Amazing Tomato Basil Soup (Like Applebee's®) image

This tastes just like the tomato basil soup they serve at Applebee's®. The hubs loved it so that's saying something! I always add a pinch of sugar to tomato-based sauce, but I'm not sure that it needed it. Served it with baked fries with seasoned salt and grilled gouda cheese sandwiches on thick crusty bread, panini-style.
