Since it’s SOUP WEEK around here, I thought I’d reshare one of my faves plus give it a printable recipe.
You guys, I’ve made this soup here so many times, and it’s always delish. Whether you serve it solo or pair it with my PEPPER JELLY AND PEPPERONI GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICHES, it’s a hit!
Enjoy! xx

Tomato Basil Soup
- Yield: 4 1x
Description
You guys, I’ve made this soup here so many times, and it’s always delish. Whether you serve it solo or pair it with my PEPPER JELLY AND PEPPERONI GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICHES, it’s a hit!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pint of cherry tomatoes
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO)
- salt and pepper
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped
- 2 (28 oz) cans San Marzano whole peeled tomatoes
- 1 cup of torn basil leaves
- 1/4 cup half & half
- grated Parmesan to garnish
- snipped chives to garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
- Line a baking sheet with foil (for easy clean up) and pour your cherry tomatoes down. Drizzle a liberal amount of EVOO on top along with a big pinch of both salt and pepper. Pop this in the oven and roast about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a large pot over medium-high heat, add in a few drizzles of EVOO along with your chopped onion. Saute about five minutes or so until tender.
- Next, add in your chopped garlic cloves and saute a minute more. After that, add in both cans of San Marzano tomatoes along with your basil and stir everything together.
- Remove your cherry tomatoes from the oven and add them to your big pot. Stir in a bit more salt and pepper.
- Next, carefully take this mixture and add it to your blender (or use an immersion blender if you have one) and blend up everything in your pot until smooth (it just takes a minute). Pour this creamy and blended mixture back into your pot on the stove and heat another couple of minutes.
- Right before you’re ready to serve, stir in your half and half and heat through a minute.
- Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with a bit of Parm and snipped chives.

Shay, did I not get the idea of adding Boursin cheese to this soup from you?! Could have sworn I did! If so, you should make it a note so people can really turn up the volume. It’s delish!

I shared that at Trader Joe’s they suggest taking their tomato basil soup and heating it up with the Boursin cheese. I’ve done it several times, and it’s really, really good! So simple! Just thing ingredients!
