Tomato Basil Soup
After just one taste of this slightly sweet tomato and herb soup, my family never went back to canned soup again! I adapted this recipe from one I seen in an old cookbook. —Chris Baker of South Lake Tahoe, California

This is our favorite Tomato Basil Soup.... Way better that any we have ever had!! In fact I am making it right now! Can't wait till lunch! Super simple to make.... Thank you for the recipe!
Soooooo good! Very easy to make and very comforting!
My favorite tomato soup. I've made it at least a dozen times. Thank you for the great recipe!
Easy to make. Mixed thoughts on the taste. I really enjoyed it, my husband said he thought it tasted like spaghetti sauce and my mom said that she could eat it, but thought she could taste the carrots too much(Probably cause she saw them going in.) Had this left over for lunch the next day and was even better. The flavours meld together wonderfully.
Very Good!I used 2 pints of canned tomatoes instead of puree. Then after it done simmering, I threw it all back in the blender to puree the tomatoes to make the soup very smooth. Next time I will puree the tomatoes in blender before adding to soup...less batches in the blender
Awesome!! I've already made it twice. Excellent and EASY (not time consuming at all!). Good just the way the recipe is written!
I'm not big on Tomato soup. But I made this anyway. This was so good, it beats the Campbell Tomato Soup all the way. This recipe just made me a fan of Tomato soup now. Excellent
I love this soup it's delicious. I don't mind it being a little chunky so I use a potato masher instead of the blender which makes it faster to prepare.
This is my husbands favorite soup. I make it about often through out the winter months. It is easy, the flavor is addicting and it warms the belly as well as the soul. I have made it in double batches and frozen the leftovers for a fast homemade meal in a hurry.
This soup was worth the time. We loved it.
