The Tomato Basil Soup from Café Zupas is a rich and creamy classic that combines the sweetness of ripe tomatoes with the aromatic freshness of basil. This comforting soup is crafted with a blend of stewed tomatoes, sautéed onions, and celery, simmered to perfection and then pureed to achieve a smooth, velvety texture. The addition of basil pesto infuses the soup with a burst of herbal flavor, while a touch of sugar balances the acidity of the tomatoes. Finished with a swirl of heavy cream, this soup offers a luxurious and satisfying experience.
Ideal for pairing with a grilled cheese sandwich or enjoyed on its own, the Tomato Basil Soup is a favorite among those seeking a comforting and flavorful meal. Its creamy consistency and well-balanced flavors make it a versatile choice, suitable for various occasions and palates.
