This Tomato Basil Soup is a fantastic family recipe that my wonderful former mother-in-law shared with me years ago. It has become one of our Family Favorite Recipes!

Tomato Basil Soup

When the cooler temperatures hit here in the North East there is nothing better than curling up with a hot bowl of soup.  This Tomato Basil Soup is one of our Family Favorites.  

It’s one of my go to recipes that’s so easy to make. I can whip up a batch in about 20 minutes which is important when those hunger pains hit. There’s nothing worse than waiting for dinner to be cooked when your tummy is rumbling.

This is an old Crocker Family Recipe that the whole family loves. I love finding a recipes that the whole family enjoys.  Even the picky eaters!

I was never a big fan of regular Tomato Soup.  It’s a little too acidic for me.  But add a little sour cream and cheddar cheese and I’m all in.  Now you just need a Grilled Cheese Sandwich to complete your meal.  How about my Caprese Grilled Cheese!  Now that would be the perfect sandwich to pair with this delicious soup!  An amazing soup needs and amazing sandwich to go with it don’t you agree?
