Since I posted a recipe for grilled cheese last week, I thought I should follow up with this delicious tomato Basil Soup. This soup is a perfect accompaniment to any sandwich, especially grilled cheese!
It is also one of the easiest soups to make homemade, especially when you use our Deluxe Cooking Blender. It heats up to 220° F (104° C) – which means it doesn’t just blend – it cooks.
Of course, you can make smoothies, milkshakes and margaritas with our blender. You can also make soups, jams, alternative milks (think almond milk), and nut butters. It’s super easy to use. It has eight pre-programmed settings and two custom settings. It’s large too, the picture has a 6-cup capacity for hot food and 7-cup capacity for cold food and comes with a tamper, dual-sided cleaning brush, strainer bag, boil over guard, and a cooking guide with more than 60 recipes, one of which is this recipe!
I use this blender every single day for smoothies, and I also make jams and sauces as well.
Okay, back to our tomato basil soup recipe. Let’s jump right in!
What you’ll need:
- 1/4 cup (60 mL) water or low sodium vegetable broth
- 1 tsp (5mL) salt
