Finally! It actually feels like fall here in Central California and I couldn't be happier!!!
As soon as the temperature dropped, Ashlee and I rolled a fatty, started a fire and made the biggest batch of creamy tomato basil soup known to man.
Don't fret. I'll share the recipe, so just keep on reading!
I'm gonna keep this post short and sweet because:
A: I need to eat more of this creamy tomato basil soup before Ashlee finishes it and,
B: We are going to decorate our house for the Holidays tonight!
This soup is perfectly creamy and pairs amazingly with toasted garlic bread! We went crazy and made grilled cheese sandwiches and they were phenomenal. We hope you guys love this recipe as much as we do! Make sure to subscribe because we will be posting a new soup recipe EVERY. SINGLE. WEEK. in the month of December.
Til next time, guys!!!
