(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.

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 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.

  • Return to saucepan. Add cream and butter while stirring over low heat.
  • Serve and enjoy!
