I was craving this restaurant's tomato basil soup today, but have only five bucks to my name. So I decided to try and make it with the ingredients that I had on hand. The result was very good.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper, and it was much better. Next time, I'll also try adding some chopped carrots or celery for extra flavor.

I'm not a huge fan of tomato soup, but this recipe changed my mind. The addition of basil and cream made it so creamy and flavorful. I'll definitely be making this again.
