Ingredients in Tomato Basil Soup
Fresh Tomatoes – the star of the show! This soup is best with in-season tomatoes. Get them from your garden or a local farmer’s market if you can for the best flavor! My preference is for plum varieties like roma tomatoes or san marzano but feel free to use whatever you have have or can find.
Yellow onion and garlic – the aromatic bases of this tomato basil soup recipe.
Vegetable broth – make your own or use store-bought. In a pinch you can use water.
Basil – I recommend using fresh basil leaves for the best flavor but you can use dried if you don’t have any on hand.
Olive oil – Ideally extra virgin olive oil to roast the vegetables in.
Sea salt and pepper – to taste.
How to Serve Tomato Basil Soup
The options are endless when it comes to pairings for this soup! Here are some of my favorite serving suggestions:
Warm bread – can’t go wrong with a slice of seedy or sourdough bread!
Crackers – use store bought or try my superfood crackers
Grilled cheese sandwich – if you thought grilled cheese was for kids, think again!
Grilled protein – this soup pairs with just about any grilled protein.
Garnish with cheese – no need for sides when you sprinkle your tomato basil soup recipe with a little parmesan cheese.
