My sister, Jordan, made this soup for her daughter's first birthday party in January. I'm pretty sure I had two bowls, and I immediately asked for the recipe. I've never even been a tomato soup fan before I tasted this version!Truly, it only took 30 minutes to make, and it was well worth it.Easy Homemade Tomato Soup Here's what you'll need:1 can diced tomatoes1 yellow onion2 cloves garlic1 celery stick2 tbsp butter1 tsp basil1 cup chicken broth (or vege broth if you'd like to keep it vegetarian)1 cup olive oil1/2 cup heavy whipping cream (optional)Start by draining the tomatoes. Keep the juice. Spread the tomatoes out on a cookie sheet and add 1/2 cup olive oil. Salt and Pepper.
