CREAMY TOMATO & BASIL BISQUE

TASTE LIKE FRESH PICKED TOMATOES WITH CREAM  SERVES 8

Creamy, sweet tomato taste, delicious with a kiss of basil. I love jazzing up soup mixes while still using everyday ingredients. This classic tomato soup is all jazzed with a little Italian spices. Elevate with Fire Roasted Tomatoes (Blend first). Easy to make and pairs nicely with a grilled cheese sandwich.

Creamy Tomato Bisque & Basil is super silky smooth version of the classic tomato soup we all love with a finishing touch of heavy cream in less than 30 minutes
