Creamy Tomato Basil Soup

Sometimes you just want to relive the flavors of your childhood, but with a bit of a grown up twist. Last week I posted about these amazing Grown Up Margherita Grilled Cheese Sandwiches. Today, this creamy tomato basil soup is my version of grown up tomato soup, and it is WAY better than anything you can buy in a can! You can make this with or without the sausage, both ways are good! This is great with a grilled cheese sandwich, we like to dip ours in the soup, it may sound weird but it is so good!

Comfort Cuisine

Ever wonder why some people refer to certain foods as “comfort food”? Or maybe you have some foods that just hit the spot when you need them. Whether you’re seeking comfort from a common cold, something to help you de-stress, or some other reason, soups are often thought of as comfort cuisine. But why? Most often comfort food is something that provides some sort of nostalgic or sentimental value. Maybe your mom always made a certain meal when you were sick. Or maybe your grandmother’s mashed potatoes were the only thing that could keep you from melting down over a bad grade. These all fall into the category of comfort foods, which are often additionally characterized by high calories, high carbs, or something that is simple to prepare.
