Call it a new take on pasta, faux-French-onion soup, or pizza in a bowl! Any way you name it, I’ll eat it. This is a simple and hearty tomato basil soup recipe. The kicker is, you line your soup bowl with slices of bread and top it with cheese (like French onion soup) for a real treat.
I wanted to make a tomato soup because I get really excited any time I buy green tomatoes. They are so tart and have a lot more acid than “red” tomatoes, and really add a nice taste to a soup or sauce. Butter, cayenne pepper, basil, white wine, and cream top add layers of flavor you can’t imagine.
