CREAMY TOMATO BASIL SOUP



Creamy Tomato Basil Soup image

I created this soup while trying to duplicate one I enjoyed at a restaurant in Philadelphia. It isn't exactly right, but it's close! My husband and I love this soup on cold nights with a grilled cheese sandwich. It's so easy to make that we often have it on weeknights, and I also serve it during Lent.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe tomatoes for the best flavor. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and juicy, with no blemishes.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the seasonings to your taste. If you like a spicier soup, add more cayenne pepper. If you prefer a milder soup, omit the cayenne pepper altogether.
  • Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers for dipping. This will help to soak up the delicious broth.
  • Leftover soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the soup for up to 3 months.
  • Crab is a good source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and other nutrients.

The combination of sweet tomatoes, creamy broth, and tender crab is sure to please everyone at the table.
