Creamy Tomato Basil Soup

10.06.2011


In our house we don't eat a lot of meat. So this is another wonderful recipe from our daily lives. This is not your typical canned tomato soup. This soup is thick, creamy, very tasty and great when you are in a hurry to put dinner on the table.

Ingredients:

  • 2  (12 oz.) cans - Diced Italian Tomatoes ( Or Basil & Oregano flavored)
  • 2  (16oz.) cans - Tomato Sauce (not spaghetti sauce)
  • About 20 leaves - Fresh Basil (add more if your leaves are small or to taste)
  • 1 cup - Heavy Whipping Cream ( I urge you not to use a lighter cream)
  • 1/3 cup  - Butter
  • 1/4 cup - Onion, Chopped
  •  1-2 tsp - Crushed Red Peppers (or to taste, we really like spicy food)
  • 1 -2  cloves - Minced Garlic
  • Salt and Pepper - to taste
Directions:

  1. Place diced tomatoes, sauce, crushed red peppers, onions, & garlic in a stock pot over medium heat. Simmer for 45 minutes. 
  2. Chop your basil leaves, and add them to your pot.
  3. Stir in the heavy cream and butter. Season with salt and pepper. Heat, stirring until the butter is melted. Do not boil. 

Allow to cool some and enjoy! 

Notes/Tips:

This is not an exact recipe. Just a starter point as I don't generally measure anything. It's just all from memory and taste. Adjust accordingly. 

Make this a whole meal by pairing this soup with a nice grilled cheese sandwich using real sliced cheese. Once your grilled cheese sandwich is made (while still hot) open it and add a few fresh sliced tomatoes inside. Close and serve. Add a side of saltines too!

Want to make this super fresh? Replace the can diced tomatoes with fresh roma tomatoes. Start with about 4-5. I've made this soup both ways. Leave the skin on, de-seed & chop tomatoes. Allow to simmer for at least 1 hr or till tomatoes are tender.

10.02.2011


In today's "Photo Sunday" 
I took a pic of a batch of soap I was about to make! (It's Malice Alice)

Why YES, those are my awesomely stylish goggles! Safety never looked so cool! And their green! Yea!


























Sorry this comes so late on Sunday!!! All this week I've been busy with new orders and you probably can guess... making soap! In the photo above I am about to make my popular Malice Alice soap. A wonderful blend of spices and darkened chocolate. They smell good enough to eat!  It's hard resisting a bite of these. But PLEASE resist! LOL

As I posted before on Facebook, I am looking for new soap/product scents to try out. And there's no one better to ask than you! So if you have any suggestions on scents I have yet to create, please post them here. Or on our Facebook page! At the end of the week (this Friday the 7th ) which ever scents I pic or are the most popular requested ones I will make. Those who's suggestions were picked to create will get a free "Full" sample of it! I will contact you if your scent is created so please leave me with an email to make contacting easier.

Sound like fun? And who doesn't lvee free products! So post your suggestions below!

Take Care and Enjoy






P.S. Sorry the delay in craft tutorials lately. I've been swamped. But they are coming!
