I found a recipe for Tomato-Basil soup today over at Skip to My Lou. I thought I would try it out since it was pretty quick and easy… not to mention I LOVE tomato soup. It’s isn’t very WW friendly but I will make it work and be sure to eat it with lots of veggies. I just made it and it is FABULOUS…I swear I could just sit with the whole pot in my lap and eat it up…yummy…this is a keeper.
The recipe is at the above mentioned website but I’ll post it here too…
La Madeleine Tomato-Basil Soup
Ingredients
4 cups tomatoes, peeled, cored and chopped, or 4 cups canned whole tomatoes, crushed
4 cups tomato juice
12 – 14 washed fresh basil leaves, plus additional for garnish, chopped
1 cup whipping cream
1/2 cup sweet, unsalted butter, softened
Salt to taste
1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper
Crusty bread (optional)
Directions
Combine tomatoes and juice in saucepan. Simmer for 30 minutes over
medium-low heat. Cool slightly, then place in a blender or food
processor. Add basil and process to puree; this will have to be done in
batches.
Return mixture to saucepan. Add cream and butter. Stir over low heat
until butter and cream are incorporated. Stir in salt and pepper before
serving. Garnish with more fresh basil and serve with fresh, crusty
bread. Makes 8 servings.
