For my birthday a friend took me to a lovely little Italian cafe, where they had the most delicious Tomato and Basil soup on the menu, which we both ordered for lunch.

It was so fresh and flavourful, that as soon as I got home I was determined to recreate all those amazing flavours.

I think I did a pretty good job. If there is one thing I will for sure recommend, that is to use fresh tomatoes if you can, as the taste just does not compare if you use canned, you want that amazing freshness of ripened tomatoes. So yummy!!

    You can if that is all you have. But The fresh tomatoes really make the taste in this soup. You won’t get quite the same result with canned. Hope that helps 🙂
