tomato basil soup {pure heaven}


Yummy. Try this. You won't be sorry!
This was my dinner last night.


Samira's Tomato-Basil Soup
(My awesome roommate, Tricia, works for O.C. Tanner. Her company cafeteria has a professional chef who makes lunches. This is his recipe.)



28-oz. diced Italian tomatoes (canned)
2 cups chicken broth
2 tablespoons dried basil leaves
1 carrot, pealed and diced
1/2 cup celery, diced
2 cloves minced garlic
1/2 onion, diced
1/2 cup butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup cream
salt to taste
white pepper to taste

Directions:
Heat sauce pan. Add oil and butter. Saute vegetables, garlic, and basil lightly. Add tomatoes and broth. Cook 15 minutes. Add vegetable mixture with cream and puree in a blender.

Serve with grilled cheese sandwiches.



Ahh . . . a perfect dinner for a cold winter night!
