Paula Deen's Tomato-Basil Soup

Ingridentso
3 tablespoons butter
1 medium Vidalia onion, very thinly sliced
Salt
One 28-ounce can diced tomatoes, undrained
3/4 cup heavy whippin cream or whole milk
1/4 cup finally chopped fresh basil


Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and a pinch of salt. Cover and cook over low heat until very soft, about 15 minutes. Add the tomatoes and 4 cups water increase the heat to medium-high. Simmer, unconvered, for about 30 minutes.

Purée the soul in bathes in a food processor or blender, and return the mixture to the pot. Add the cream, season with salt and pepper, and stir in the basil.

*I love this recipe! In fact it was the first meal I ever made for Tripp. I'm not sure if it was the soup or the grilled cheese using smoked Gouda that reeled him on hahaha!

  1. I usually love Paula Deen's recipes but this one failed miserably starting with the basic ingredients. Missing from the ingredients is the (4) cups of water, salt & pepper mentioned in the directions. Also the word ingredients is spelled wrong on this site. If your going to post a recipe then at the very least look up the spelling of words your using if your unable to spell it.
    Following the above directions leaves the soup tasteless and bland other then a mouthful of basil. I love basil but this amount was way too much.
    What needs to be added is crushed garlic and more salt & pepper.

    1. If you are going to post an unkind comment about spelling then you may want to make sure that your spelling is correct and that you are using the correct word. You used "your" which denotes ownership instead of you're which is the contraction for you are.
