Bonjour mes amis!
For those of you fortunate people (like me) who are living in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, you can regularly enjoy a bowl of Tomato-Basil Soup on a cold day at the French-inspired Restaurant, La Madeleine. When you step into La Madeleine, you are greeted with a "Bonjour", and you can quick master a French Lesson if you step into the Bathroom, and then the folks in the Restaurant will wish you, "Bon Appétit"!
If you are really lucky...
You will get a Table next to the Fireplace!
That's the best!
For those of you who can't run into a La Madeleine for lunch, I'm sorry. It's a fun experience. Thankfully, today I'm going to share a recipe with you that tastes just like their Tomato-Basil Soup! (I found this recipe over at the site barnsandnoodles.com, and it's a Winner!)
La
Madeleine’s Tomato Basil Soup
Serves: 6-8
28 oz. can of whole
tomatoes
32 oz. tomato juice
20 basil whole leaves
1 stick butter
1 cup heavy cream
salt & pepper
In a large pot, bring the whole tomatoes and tomato juice to a boil.
Add basil and
continue boiling for 20 minutes.
Allow to cool a bit,
then puree tomato basil mixture in the blender –be sure to hold the lid!
Pour puree back into
large pot.
Add butter, cream,
salt, and pepper.
Serve and enjoy!
I doubled this recipe so I would have enough to share. I have frozen it, too, and it froze and thawed very well for reheating!
I hope you are keeping warm wherever you live!
Have a "Jewel" of a Day!
Jan
