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.
