Homemade Tomato Soup with Pesto

November 4, 2019   |   Leave a Comment


Comfort food at its best, this Homemade Tomato Soup is perfect with the added flavor of basil pesto!  Add a side of garlic bread or grilled cheese and you have dinner that your family will love.


One of my favorite meals growing up was Tomato Soup with grilled cheese sandwiches. It was something I looked forward to and has since become a comfort food that I make for my boys as well.

I always loved the traditional tomato soup and I’m pretty sure my Mom just poured it straight out of a can but I think this recipe gives the soup so much more flavor when you add the pesto and cream on top.

Try our homemade french bread along with this easy recipe! I promise you will love everything about the meal as will your family!
