Creamy tomato basil soup is the perfect comfort food on a cold winter day. Homemade soup has a tangy bright flavor from the tomatoes and fresh basil. Add a little cream to experience a creamy smooth texture. Go ahead and make that grilled cheese sandwich to complete this comfort meal!

canned tomatoes- I recommend using canned tomatoes over fresh for this recipe because it greatly reduces your prep time. Look for whole tomatoes that are already peeled. Preferably plum tomatoes or roma tomatoes.

broth- chicken broth or vegetable broth are both good choices. You can even use your own homemade vegetable stock if you cooked veggies earlier in the week.

fresh basil - fresh herbs are a must in this soup. If you have fresh thyme growing you can also add that to the soup.

heavy cream-this will make your soup creamy! Use whole milk if you prefer.

I recommend using a Vitamix for this recipe, however you can use a regular blender or immersion blender.

Add all of the ingredients to the base of the Vitamix container. Secure the lid and begin blending on a low speed. Slowly increase speed and blend for 6 minutes or until you see steam coming from the top of the vented lid. The friction of the blades will heat the soup

• Do not drain the tomatoes! Add all of the tomato juice from the can.
• Add the heavy cream at the end when the soup is heated.

The beauty of this soup recipe is that it can be made in 10 minutes with just the use of your blender, however if you have the time you can definitely jazz this soup up a little. Here's a few ideas to try.

• roasted onions/ sauteed onions
• roasted garlic
• roasted red peppers
• red chili flakes

Pour the tomato soup directly into bowls from the Vitamix blender. Garnish with more fresh basil leaves, heavy cream and cracked black pepper.

Serve with saltines, croutons, or a grilled cheese sandwich.
