Tomato Basil Soup

I was inspired by a tomato basil soup I had in a restaurant and wanted to recreate it. I looked at different recipes and got some ideas, but I changed it to my own tastes. It's a little labor intensive, because I used a food mill and then an immersible blender, but it's worth it and VERY healthy. Read more It's also soooo much better with home made chicken stock, but you can use packaged broth (just low sodium so you can add salt to taste). See less
