Tomato Basil Soup

Healthy creamy tomato basil soup

Homemade tomato soup is so awesome; it’s like Panera at home! It tastes more decadent than it is. In the summertime, you can use fresh basil but it’s February, so dried basil also works fine.

You can blend the soup with a food processor, but it’s easier if you have an immersion blender. I make a lot of soup in the wintertime, and I couldn’t live without an immersion blender! I have this one.

Tomato soup and grilled cheese is one of my all-time favorite meals. I served this with a side of Ham & Cheese Hot Pockets.

  • 2 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 15oz can diced tomatoes (undrained)

Hello, world!

I’ve always liked cooking, but we used to eat crap a lot — like buttery mashed potatoes, creamy sauces and rich desserts. Then, my husband had a heart attack at age 38, and it was a terrifying wake-up call! Not wanting to leave our children fatherless, we knew we had to make a major change. Following his heart attack, we needed to cut sodium, sugar, saturated fats (you know, most of our favorite foods!)
