Soup Season: Simple Tomato Basil Soup
It’s a dreary day in Oklahoma, it’s 32° out and that’s the high for today. But that’s okay, because there are warmer days ahead.
There is something so comforting about a cold & dreary day, when you have no plans on the agenda besides curling up on the couch to watch a true crime documentary. The only thing that can make it a touch better is adding a bowl of homemade soup. We’ve been living off of chicken tortilla soup, green chili, vegetable soup and this really easy tomato basil soup.
*If you have tomatoes one hand or would prefer to use fresh produce, replace each can with 10-12 tomatoes; crush and puree for desired consistency!

Top with fresh basil (or dried) and cheese. Enjoy!
