Tomato Basil Soup

Choosing the best canned tomato soup is not an easy thing to do, especially when the options are uncountable.

Recipe Summary Tomato Basil Soup

A creamy rendition of a traditional favorite. This has made me a SouperHero in my house. This meal is full-bodied enough to not need the addition of a sandwich; however, garlic bread is nice for dipping.

Ingredients | Tomato Soup Brands

6 tablespoons butter

1 onion, thinly sliced

15 baby carrots, thinly sliced

2 stalks celery, thinly sliced

3 cloves garlic, chopped

1 (28 ounce) can tomato sauce (such as Hunt's®)

1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce (such as Hunt's®)

1 ¼ cups chicken broth

2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil

1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano

salt and ground black pepper to taste

1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream

Directions

Melt butter in a large pot over medium-low heat; cook and stir onion, carrots, celery, and garlic until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in both amounts of tomato sauce, chicken broth, basil, and oregano. Increase heat to medium and simmer until soup is reduced, 10 to 20 minutes.

Pour soup into a blender no more than half full. Cover and hold lid down; pulse a few times before leaving on to blend. Add cream. Continue to puree in batches until smooth, transferring creamy soup to another pot.

Heat soup over medium-high heat until hot, about 5 minutes more.

The basil/oregano ratio is always 2:1. Additionally, the blending step can be a little messy with the hot soup.
