Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 Tablespoon olive oil
2 14.5 ounce cans diced tomatoes (, with the juice)
2 carrots (, finely diced (about 1 cup))
1 small onion (, finely diced (about 1 cup))
3 ribs celery (, finely diced (about 1 cup))
2 Tablespoons tomato paste
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
1 1/2 teaspoons dried basil leaves
½ cup butter
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1½ cups half and half ((or whole milk))
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil

Steps:

  • Add oil to a large soup pot over medium high heat. Once hot, add carrots, onions, and celery and sauté them for a few minutes.
  • Add diced tomatoes, tomato paste, chicken broth, oregano, and dried basil. Bring to a gentle boil and cook for several minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
  • Use an immersion blender or regular blender (you may need to do this in batches, depending on how big your blender is) to puree the soup until smooth. (This step is optional, if you like a smooth soup). Return it to the soup pot.
  • In a separate pot, prepare the roux. Add butter to the pot over medium low heat and allow to melt. Stir in the flour and whisk together constantly for about 10 minutes or until the roux is a nice golden brown color.
  • Add a big ladle full of the soup to the roux--it will start to form a thick paste. Add a few more big scoops of soup to the roux and stir well until smooth. Add the roux mixture to soup pot and stir to combine.
  • Stir in the parmesan cheese, half and half, salt, pepper and basil. Add additional oregano and basil if needed, to taste. Stir well. Cook for a few more minutes until warmed through.
  • Store tomato basil soup covered in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • Try it served in a yummy homemade bread bowl!

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 fresh, ripe tomatoes: This will give your soup the best flavor. If you can't find fresh tomatoes, you can use canned diced tomatoes, but be sure to drain them well before adding them to the soup.
  • Roast the tomatoes before adding them to the soup: This will help to concentrate their flavor and make the soup even more delicious. To roast the tomatoes, simply place them on a baking sheet and drizzle them with olive oil. Roast them at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-40 minutes, or until they are slightly charred and softened.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of your soup, so it's important to use a good one. Look for a broth that is made with real ingredients and that has a rich flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to add some spice: A little bit of spice can really help to bring out the flavors of the tomatoes and basil. You can add a pinch of red pepper flakes, a dash of cayenne pepper, or a few grinds of black pepper.
  • Serve the soup with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt and a sprinkle of fresh basil: This will help to add a little bit of richness and creaminess to the soup.

Conclusion:

This creamy tomato basil soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. It's also a great way to use up any leftover tomatoes you may have. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy soup recipe, give this creamy tomato basil soup a try. You won't be disappointed!
