Description
Tomato soup is a classic comforting dish that is loved by so many people. This recipe contains aromatic basil and is topped with some sour cream to make the soup a creamy, light lunch or the perfect starter at dinner time. We have also tested this soup without sour cream and it is still delicious! You can freeze the soup and use it in small batches for lunch on the run or even serve in small glasses as a party appetiser.
