Tomato Basil Parmesan Soup

Monday, March 4, 2013 by Lolli 6 Comments

This winter may not have been a snowy one, but it certainly has been a COLD one. And there’s nothing better on a cold winter night than a comforting bowl of hot soup.

To be honest, I’ve never been a fan of tomato soup. I have a distinct and disturbing memory from my childhood that has kept me away from tomato soup for years. I’m not sure why I decided to give this soup a try, but I am so glad I did. It was easy to make, soothing to eat, and paired perfectly with a grilled cheese sandwich.

Tomato Basil Parmesan Soup - a simple but delicious vegetarian soup that will warm you from the inside out

This recipe was modified from one found on Today’s Mama. The biggest change I made was to blend all of the veggies before serving. Although the kids like the flavor, I think the chunks of veggies would be less-than-popular in this soup. Luckily, it was an easy solution!

    I’m with you, tomato soup has never stirred the ‘mmm’ in my heart, but the idea of tomato-basil soup gets my attention. The addition of the parmesan would make it that much better — Thanks for sharing on Hearth & Soul Hop. :)

    My husband loves tomato soup, I not so much. I might have to have him make this one and give it a try, the next time he writes Tomato soup & grill cheese sandwiches on the dinner menu.

    This looks amazing. I make my own tomato soup all the time and it’s so much better than store bought.

    I know! I actually made it for the second time tonight. My biggest change (and a big hit with my kids) was to blend the veggies. They love the flavor, but not the chunks. ;)
