A Creamy Tomato Basil Soup

Last year my husband and I spent the weekend in Las Vegas. One of our favorite things about The Strip are all of the incredible restaurants to choose from. We ate at several of our favorite Vegas restaurants and one of them is Buddy V’s Ristorante at The Venetian Hotel.

Everything about our meal from start to finish was pure perfection, but their tomato and basil soup left me craving more several days after our trip had come to an end. It’s one of the best tomato soup recipes I’ve ever enjoyed. It’s perfectly creamy and tastes incredible!

After dreaming about it for several weeks, I decided I needed to have this recipe in my life. I decided to contact Buddy V’s PR agency and see if they could give me their recipe. I was absolutely giddy with excitement when the recipe hit my inbox. With their permission, I am sharing their amazing tomato soup recipe with you today. Please enjoy…

Ingredients You’ll Need

What I love about this recipe is that you don’t need any fancy ingredients. Plus, the tomatoes they recommend using can be found at several large grocery chains.

• Olive oil
• Chopped garlic
• Chopped yellow onions
• Fresh or dried basil leaves
• San Marzano canned tomatoes
• Vegetable stock
• Heavy cream
• Croutons
• Parmesan cheese

How To Make Tomato & Basil Soup

Heat – Start by heating the olive oil in a large pot.

Veggies – Chop the onions and garlic and then sweat them in the olive oil until they are translucent.

Key Ingredients – Add the basil and let it cook until it’s wilted. Next, add in the tomatoes and let them simmer for 40 minutes.

Puree – Carefully puree the tomato mixture in small batches and add them back into the pot.

Remaining Ingredients – Add in vegetable stock and heavy cream to the pot and let it simmer until it reaches its proper consistency.

Season – Check the seasoning and add salt and pepper to fit your taste.

Serve – Pour the tomato soup into bowls and garnish with croutons and parmesan cheese

Keto-Friendly – This tomato and basil soup recipe is Keto-friendly for those who are on a low carb diet. Just be sure to leave off the croutons.;)

Storage

Fridge – You can store this amazing soup recipe for about 4-5 days in the refrigerator.

Make Ahead Lunch – I like to make an extra large batch and then store the leftovers in deli containers so the family can take them to work or school over the next day or two.

Freezing – You can make this ahead of time and freeze it but I don’t think it tastes as good as enjoying it fresh. I’d recommend freezing before you add in the cream and stock. When you’re reheating start at that step once the soup is warm.
