Creamy Tomato Basil Soup

The change of weather has sparked my love for soup. Saturday was rainy, Jordan worked and my mom was in town. What better dinner than a family favorite- creamy tomato basil soup! I can't take credit for this recipe, it belongs to Adrianne. I have made this soup several times, and it is always a hit.

{I double the recipe to get a few leftovers worth.} 

Creamy Tomato Basil Soup

2 cans of chicken broth

2 big cans of crushed tomatoes

2 cloves of garlic

1/4 cup fresh basil

bit of sugar

{to take out the bitterness of all the tomatoes}

Mix all of the above and let simmer until flavors combine

Before serving, pour in 8 oz heavy whipping cream

and melt 1-2 stick(s) of butter

YUMM!

I serve this with grilled cheeses, but Adrianne suggested stuffed crescent rolls:

Roll 1/2 of a string cheese in a crescent roll

Bake according to crescent roll directions

Brush with butter once removed from the oven before serving

Do you have any soup recipes we should try??
