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??
