This is the closest I have managed to copying the Tomato Basil soup at La Madeline. This is the best soup for cold winter nights, and I have yet to meet anyone who did not like it. Ingredients:
4 cups whole canned tomatoes (or 8-10 fresh peeled, and chopped) |
4 cups tomato juice, & broth mix of (50/50, i used vegetable broth to make the recipe vegetarian) |
8 basil leaves, chopped finely or 1 tablespoon dried basil |
1 cup cream |
8 tablespoons sweet unsalted butter |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
Directions:
1. Combine tomatoes, tomato juice and broth in a saucepan and simmer for 30 minutes.
2. Puree with basil in the blender. Make sure that this is smooth - I always strain it.
3. Return to saucepan. Add cream and butter while stirring over low heat.
4. Serve and enjoy!
