Easy Homemade Tomato & Basil Soup

Easy Homemade Tomato Soup | kristinschell.com

It’s still blazing hot here in Austin. Way too hot to be thinking about soup. But, I had these beautiful summer tomatoes and two handfuls of fresh basil. What’s a girl to do?

Make soup and crank the air conditioner.

When the Littles were still little, they had a funny way of finishing off our soup. They would raise their bowls with the last sip of soup to their lips and tilt their heads back to get every last drop with a gigantic slurp. We call it the Texas Tip. Nowadays, the kids are more apt to dip their toasted cheese sandwiches into the final drops of soup.

You can use fresh or canned tomatoes in this recipe. If you use fresh tomatoes 8-10 will do, but why not use canned and save more time for the Texas Tip?

Invitation to The Turquoise Table »

Meet Kristin

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here.

I'm on a mission to love my neighbors. I put an ordinary picnic table in my front yard, painted it turquoise and invited neighbors, friends, and even strangers to hang out and do life together at the Turquoise Table®.

I hope you'll join us!
