Valentines Day Tomato Basil Soup image

I make this full fat version of tomato basil soup for special occasions (ie this past Valentines Day). It is super easy to make, and the left overs feed me and my husband for lunch for the rest of the week! I found this recipe on all recipes, and the woman says that it is much better with the heavy cream and butter. It probably is some better, but I make a low fat version for our "every day tomato basil soup". You can use extra tomatoes and reserve them from the blending step so that you have some chunks of tomato in your soup.

I love that this soup can be made in advance. I usually make a big batch on the weekend and then eat it throughout the week. It's so convenient and it saves me time during the week.

This soup is so versatile. I've added different vegetables, cheeses, and even meats to it. It always turns out great.

I'm so glad this recipe doesn't have any cream. I'm lactose intolerant, so I can't have dairy. This soup is just as good without it.

This soup is the perfect way to use up leftover tomatoes. I always have a few extra tomatoes in my fridge, and this soup is a great way to use them up.

I love the presentation of this soup. I always serve it with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh herbs. It looks so festive and it tastes even better.

I made this soup in my slow cooker and it turned out perfectly. I just threw all the ingredients in the slow cooker in the morning and it was ready for dinner. It was so easy and convenient.

I used a different type of cheese in this soup, and it turned out just as good. I used a sharp cheddar cheese and it gave the soup a nice tangy flavor.

I added a few extra vegetables to this soup, like carrots and celery. It turned out great! The soup was even more flavorful and it had a nice crunch to it.

I love that this soup can be made ahead of time. I usually make it the day before and then reheat it on Valentine's Day. It's so convenient and it still tastes just as good.
