January 25, 2019
This Tomato-Basil Soup recipe from our Slow Cooker Soups cookbook is a no-brainer on a cold winter night. Pair it with a yummy grilled cheese and you can't go wrong!
Ingredients
- 3 (15 oz.) cans petite diced tomatoes (don’t drain)
- 1 C. each finely chopped celery, onion, and carrots
- 3 C. chicken broth
- ½ C. butter
- ½ C. flour
- 2 C. half & half
- ½ C. each shredded Parmesan and Asiago cheeses
- 1 tsp. salt
- ½ tsp. ground oregano
- ¼ C. chopped fresh basil
- Black pepper to taste
- Shredded Parmesan cheese
Directions
In a 4-quart slow cooker, combine the tomatoes, celery, onion, carrots, and broth. Cover and cook on low 6 hours (high, 3 hours).
Melt the butter in a big saucepan; whisk in the flour until thick, smooth, and golden. Slowly whisk in the half & half plus 1 to 2 C. of the soup from the cooker; whisk until well blended. Pour the mixture into the cooker, add both cheeses, and stir until melted. Stir in the salt, oregano, basil, and black pepper; cover and cook on low 30 minutes longer. Blend with an immersion blender until nice and smooth.
Toss some cheese onto each serving for extra ooey-gooey goodness.
Makes about 12 cups
