ROASTED GARLIC + TOMATO BASIL SOUP
TIS. THE. SOUP. SZN. Growing up, Tomato Basil soup was my favorite thing to order, and as an adult – it still is! There is just something about a homemade soup that instantly comforts. This recipe is not only easy, but it’s incredibly delish. I used all organic ingredients, including the chicken broth. As you’ve seen, my pantry is quite literally stocked with their organic Chicken, beef, and veggie broths. When it comes to store ought, they’re my go to choice. By the way, if you want to make this recipe completely veggie friendly, use their Vegetable broth instead of chicken broth, and there ya go! Recipe below – can’t wait to hear what you think!
