Made this Wednesday night. Seriously the best homemade tomato soup recipe I’ve tried to date. Makes the perfect amount too with leftovers to freeze.
We’ve been a sick household for days. Ben is sick. I’m sick. And I may have heard Butters sneezing earlier. It may have been the Indiana cold.
Us Californians are wimps when it comes to 28 degree weather.
So now. Well, now, we’re a tomato soup household. And because we’re all sick, no one has the energy to cook. That’s why we threw everything into the crockpot.
Ben helped and made the croutons, with extra Parmesan cheese for me.

Puree with an immersion blender until desired consistency is reached. Stir in heavy cream and basil; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
