Last week I tried the Tomato-Basil Soup that is a copycat from Applebee's.
Making this soup was my first opportunity to use my newly purchased food processor!
I really wanted to buy a big, expensive food processor, but I said to myself,
"Self, you are not the Duggars. You live alone. You are not feeding a family of 21."
Back to the recipe..
Ingredients:
5 large tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and diced
5 cups of V8
16 fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup minced onion
2 garlic cloves
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 1/4 cups of heavy cream
1 stick of melted butter
Salt and pepper
Back to the recipe..
Ingredients:
5 large tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and diced
5 cups of V8
16 fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup minced onion
2 garlic cloves
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 1/4 cups of heavy cream
1 stick of melted butter
Salt and pepper
On medium heat, combine the tomatoes and juice in a cooking pot for 30 min.
Add the Italian seasoning, basil, minced onion, and crushed garlic.
Next, I poured this mixture into my food processor. The recipe in the book suggests pureeing with a hand blender. I'll have to put a immersion blender on my Christmas list.
Once it's pureed to the desired consistency, pour it into a crock pot, set to low. Slowly add in the butter and cream. Finally, add the salt and pepper. Leave it in the crock pot for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.Serve with shredded cheese and/or bread.
