- NOTES : An infusion of basil lends this creamy tomato soup an irresistible Provenial perfume. Balsamic vinegar brings the flavors into focus.
- Sweet vine-ripened tomatoes are the key to flavor in this creamy soup. If your tomatoes are not at their peak of sweetness, add in 1/2 tsp. sugar to the soup.
