    Creamy Tomato Basil Soup Recipe

    Nothing tastes better on aĀ chilly dayĀ than a bowl ofĀ homemade soup. ThisĀ easy tomato basil soupĀ recipe utilizes simple shortcuts to make aĀ delicious soupĀ in only ten minutes. This is one of myĀ favorite soup recipesĀ when the soup craving hits because it comes together so quickly and uses pantry staple items.

    • Easy Tomato Soup - This soup could not be made more accessible, thanks to jarred marinara sauce, simple ingredients, and the trusty blender!
    • Ready in 10 MinutesĀ - ThisĀ delicious soupĀ is a quick meal option for lunch or dinner. It is perfect forĀ soup seasonĀ or any time the tomato soup cravings hit.
    • Tomato Soup Without CreamĀ - This tomato soup is creamy without any dairy orĀ heavy cream, thanks to blended cannellini beans (theĀ secret ingredient).

    Ingredients

    The ingredients you need for this recipe.
    • Prepared Marinara SauceĀ - My favorite brand isĀ Raos, hands down. If you want to use homemade, try myĀ BasicĀ Tomato Sauce, which is packed with flavor.Ā 
    • Cannellini Beans - The blended beans make this soup luscious and creamy while adding nutritious, satiating value. It is a great way to add fiber and protein to the meal.
    • Fresh Garlic Cloves - Because the ingredients are blended, there is no need to mince the garlic. Peel off the skin and throw it into the blender. 
    • Olive Oil - Improves the overall creamy texture of the soup, in addition to adding flavor. Ideally, use extra-virgin olive oil for the best flavor.
    • Chicken Broth - My go-to is always chicken broth; however, vegetable broth works great, too. Use low-sodium broth for an even healthier bowl of soup.
    • SeasoningsĀ - Dried basil, salt, andĀ black pepper.Ā 

    See theĀ recipe cardĀ for the ingredient quantities.Ā 

    Instructions

    It all starts with prepared sauce, canned beans, and the hustle of theĀ blender. Utilizing ready items and the reliable blender eliminates additional steps and the need for added ingredients. The blender does most of the work for you.

    STEP 1Ā - Place the marinara sauce, beans, garlic clove, andĀ olive oilĀ into a blender. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth.

    The completed blended mixture.

    STEP 2Ā - Transfer the blended mixture to a small saucepan. Whisk in theĀ chicken brothĀ and dried basil. OverĀ medium-high heat, bring the soup to a simmer. Once simmering, the soup is ready to eat!

    Variations

    • Vegetarian - Use vegetable broth or stock.
    • Fresh Basil -  If you have fresh basil on hand, use it as a garnish. Thinly slice the fresh basil leaves and add to the top of each bowl of hot soup.
    • Optional Garnishes - Garnish soup with parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, croutons, or fresh basil. 

    Equipment You May Need

    • High-Speed Blender - I LOVE my Vitamix. It is 100 percent worth the investment!
    • Immersion Blender - If you do not have a blender, use an Immersion Blender to blend the soup instead. It is a great tool to have in the kitchen.
    • Small Saucepan - This soup fits in a small saucepan. This is the Saucepan that I have (as pictured).

    Expert Tips

    1. If you do not have a blender, place the first ingredients into a pot and blend with an immersion blender until smooth. The soup will not be relatively as smooth as it would be with a blender, but still be equally delicious!
    2.  As if I need to tell you, pair this soup with a warm ​grilled cheese sandwich. This sandwich has dairy, so if you are dairy-free, use a dairy-free cheese.

    Storage

    • STORE - Transfer cooled soup to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
    • FREEZE - Transfer cooled soup to an airtight container. Freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw the frozen soup in the refrigerator before reheating and consuming it.
    • REHEAT - This soup {like most soups} is best reheated over the stovetop. Transfer soup to a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring every so often, until heated through.

    FAQ

    Can you make this tomato soup without a blender?

    You need a tool to puree the tomato sauce, beans, garlic, and olive oil together. This could be a blender, immersion blender, or food processor.
