CREAMY TOMATO-BASIL SOUP
Pantry ingredients combine for a comforting tomato soup that's rich and creamy. The soup gets that creaminess from canned white beans and sautéed onions, which-when pureed-lend velvety, silky texture. If you have fresh basil in your fridge or in a windowsill pot, it offers prime herb flavor. If not, dried basil works, too, and adds a little earthiness. You can use either a traditional blender or immersion blender to puree; the former yields a smoother texture and the latter a more rustic vibe.

CREAMY TOMATO BASIL SOUP
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 ripe tomatoes: The riper the tomatoes, the sweeter and more flavorful your soup will be. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and free of blemishes.
- Roast the tomatoes: Roasting the tomatoes intensifies their flavor and sweetness. This step is optional, but it's highly recommended.
- Use fresh basil: Fresh basil adds a bright, herbaceous flavor to the soup. If you don't have fresh basil, you can use dried basil, but the flavor will be less pronounced.
- Don't overcook the soup: The soup should be simmered until the tomatoes are softened and the flavors have melded, but it shouldn't be boiled. Overcooking the soup will make it lose its flavor.
- Serve the soup hot: Tomato soup is best served hot, with a sprinkle of fresh basil or a dollop of sour cream.
Conclusion:
This fresh cream of tomato soup with basil is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that's perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover tomatoes. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying soup that the whole family will enjoy.
