Tomato Basil Soup

I am not a big soup person, but Tomato Basil Soup is something that always hits the spot on a cold, chilly night. It's very easy to make and is a fulfilling dish.

Time to prepare: 25 minutes

Ingredients:

• 3 strands of basil
• 2 tomatoes(chopped) or 1 can of chopped tomatoes
• 1 onion (chopped)
• 1 glove of garlic
• 3 cups of chicken broth
• S&P
• 1tbls of olive oil
• Dill (optional)
• Tobasco sauce (optional)
• sour cream (optional)

Directions:

• In a deep pan, heat olive oil and add onion and garlic. Sautée onion and add tomatoes and basil. Add chicken broth and cook for 5 min on medium heat
• With a strainer spoon, take out all solid items (tomato, onion, basil) and run through a food processor
• Add the mixture from food processor to the chicken broth and cook until it boils
• Add S&P for taste
• I like to add a dash of tobasco sauce for a kick
• When serving, add a teaspoon of sour cream to the bowl, and some fresh dill
