One of my favorite meals is a hot bowl of Tomato Basil Soup paired with a gooey three cheese grilled sandwich on sourdough bread. I could eat it at least once a week. I must be my mother’s daughter for sure because she is also a soup and sandwich lover. I have to admit some of the healthy choice soups that come in cans aren’t too bad but nothing tastes better than fresh homemade. And the basil picked straight from the garden is delicious on top.
Here’s a tip:
- If you like your tomato soup, rich and creamy add cream cheese to the recipe…You’ll love it!

Hi Dawn! I like the way you made a graphic for the recipe. Very clever! I want to try this recipe – I love tomato basil soup made from scratch and the coconut milk in this recipe has me intrigued. I’m a vegetarian so I’ll swap out vegetable broth for the chicken broth. And I can’t believe no one else in your family eats tomato soup. They don’t know what they’re missing. 🙂 Thanks for sharing the recipe!
I love tomato soup, we usually have it in the winter with toasted cheese sandwiches, yum can’t wait:) Thanks for the recipe too!
My favorite soup is tomato basil. Made a pot last week. Your recipe looks interesting using coconut milk.
Hi Dawn,
I found you through Debbie Doo’s blog. 🙂 Not sure if I can sign up on the linky party this week though.
I am not normally a fan of tomato soup, but it sure looks yummy. Maybe I can try it. Never had it with basil.
I will be signing up to follow your blog. I love log homes and would love you have one some day. We lived in the mountains for a couple of years and I miss it. It would be a great place for the log home. 🙂
I will be checking out some of your popular posts too.
If you’d like to stop by here is where to find me. 🙂

Have a great week. Take care, Janet W
OOPS! Also wanted to say, that is a cute crochet place mat. Did you make it? Do you have the instructions for it? 🙂
Take care, Janet W
I’ll definitely try this. It seems we are all intrigued by the addition of coconut milk! I’ll have to share, though…everyone in my house LOVES tomato soup.
Sounds yummy! I used to love Campbell’s Tomato Soup, with soda crackers crumbled into it. Mmmmm!
Who made the cute crochet hot pad?

Dawn, I am definitely trying your soup! I even like Campbell’s tomato soup, but I always add a little butter to it, and that makes it so much better! Off to the store to get some coconut milk!
Sounds delicious. Pinning for future use.
Hugs,

I adore tomato soup too and I’m the only one in my family who likes it. I usually go for the Campbells but I might try this. Love the idea of the coconut milk and butter!
Oh boy this looks good. My family would love this with a grilled cheese on the side. Thanks for sharing Dawn!
It looks so yummy! Fantastic shots.
Thanks for sharing.
Hope to see you on my blog:)
