Recipe: 10-Minute Creamy Tomato-Basil Soup (blender or food processor)

10-MINUTE CREAMY TOMATO-BASIL SOUP



"A soup that can be made in about 10 minutes is priceless when you've got a house full of hungry mouths to feed. Cans of diced tomatoes are so versatile. I make sure that I have at least a few cans on hand every week for simple dinner ideas including this simple soup. The boys love being in charge of pressing the buttons of the blender or food processor, so they love helping with this recipe. Grilled cheese and tomato soup go hand in hand."

2 cans (15 ounces each) diced tomatoes
1/4 cup finely chopped white onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
12 fresh basil leaves
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup heavy (whipping) cream

Add the tomatoes, onion, garlic, basil, salt, and pepper to a food processor or blender. Pulse or blend until smooth.

Pour the soup into a medium saucepan set over medium-low heat. Add the heavy cream, stir to combine, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring, until hot. Serve warm.
