Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Tomato Basil Soup.
Step 1
Begin by assembling all your ingredients in one place for a seamless cooking experience.
Step 2
In a stockpot, combine the diced tomatoes with the tomato juice, then place it over medium heat.
Step 3
Allow the mixture to simmer gently for about 30 minutes, letting the tomatoes soften and release their flavors.
Step 4
Once the tomatoes are tender, take the pot off the heat and fold in the fresh basil leaves, infusing the soup with a fragrant aroma.
Step 5
Next, grab your immersion blender and purée the soup until it reaches a velvety smooth consistency.
Step 6
Return the pot to medium heat and stir in the heavy whipping cream and butter, cooking gently while stirring frequently until the butter melts, which should take around 5 minutes.
Step 7
Be mindful not to let the soup boil during this process.
Step 8
Finally, season your creation with salt and pepper to taste, then ladle the warm soup into bowls and savor every comforting spoonful.
Step 9
Enjoy the delightful blend of flavors!.
