CLASSIC TOMATO BASIL SOUP-1

This classic creamy tomato-basil soup is so quick and easy to make! I use Jovial brand jarred diced tomatoes. Serve each bowl of soup with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, freshly grated parmesan cheese, extra basil, and freshly ground black pepper.

Ingredients
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 medium white onion diced
6 cloves garlic chopped
4 cups diced tomatoes
2 cups chicken stock
2 teaspoons dried basil
2 teaspoons sea salt
1 teaspoons black pepper
1 cups heavy cream
½ cups fresh basil chopped

Excellent soup very quick and easy to make in my opinion with minimal ingredients .
I followed Ali’s suggestion of topping it with olive oil I used grated sheep cheese and fresh basil 🌿
I also paired this soup with a grilled cheese sandwich with Ali’s sandwich bread recipe from this website .

This is my go to tomato soup! So quick and easy and especially delicious with the fresh basil. I’ve made my own “cream” with cashews, water and salt it works great.
