Creamy tomato and basil soup
This traditional creamy tomato and basil soup is an old favourite that everyone will be sure to love!
This was made in soup maker, best kitchen gadget I’ve ever bought! Within 25mins, I had a really tasty, homemade soup with a hint of basil.
What goes well with this soup?
I love toasted buttered sourdough dipped in, this gives a nice little crunch. Also a warm buttered baguette would also go well.
What if you don’t have a soup maker?
If you don’t have a soup maker, you can follow the method and when everything has softened, then pop into a blender, pop back on the hob and stir in the cream.
