(COPYCAT) LA MADELINE'S TOMATO BASIL SOUP



(Copycat) La Madeline's Tomato Basil Soup image

This is the closest I have managed to copying the Tomato Basil soup at La Madeline. This is the best soup for cold winter nights, and I have yet to meet anyone who did not like it.

Provided by Alison

Categories     Vegetable

Time 45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 cups whole canned tomatoes (or 8-10 fresh peeled, and chopped)
4 cups tomato juice, & broth mix of (50/50, I used vegetable broth to make the recipe vegetarian)
8 basil leaves, chopped finely or 1 tablespoon dried basil
1 cup cream
8 tablespoons sweet unsalted butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Combine tomatoes, tomato juice and broth in a saucepan and simmer for 30 minutes.
  • Puree with basil in the blender. Make sure that this is smooth - I always strain it.
  • Return to saucepan. Add cream and butter while stirring over low heat.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality tomatoes: Vine-ripened tomatoes are best, as they have a sweeter, more robust flavor. If fresh tomatoes are not available, use a good quality canned tomato puree or crushed tomatoes.
  • Roast the tomatoes before using them: Roasting the tomatoes concentrates their flavor and gives the soup a deeper, richer taste. You can roast the tomatoes in the oven or on the stovetop.
  • Use a good quality vegetable broth: A flavorful vegetable broth will make a big difference in the taste of the soup. If you don't have vegetable broth on hand, you can use water, but the soup will be less flavorful.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You may also want to add a pinch of sugar to balance out the acidity of the tomatoes.
  • Garnish the soup with fresh basil: Fresh basil adds a bright, flavorful touch to the soup. If you don't have fresh basil, you can use dried basil, but it will not be as flavorful.

Conclusion:

Progresso Tomato Basil Soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a soup that tastes just as good as the original. So next time you're craving a bowl of tomato basil soup, give this recipe a try.
