If you’re craving comfort in a bowl, this Homemade Tomato Basil Soup is the perfect solution and best recipe to make all year long.
Bursting with the freshest Italian flavors of tomato, fragrant basil leaves, and a touch of garlic and balsamic vinegar, this creamy soup is both simple yet gourmet.
Whether you use garden vine-ripe tomatoes in the summer or a canned good-grade plum tomato during the chilly winter months, it delivers the same comforting, cozy, restaurant-quality flavor right in your own kitchen.
Made with olive oil, butter, and a splash of cream, this creamy tomato basil soup has the perfect balance of tangy and sweet notes with a velvety smooth, silky texture.
It’s easy to prepare in under an hour and pairs beautifully with a classic grilled cheese sandwich, crusty warm Italian bread, or a side antipasto salad for a light meal.
This recipe is naturally vegetarian (or can be made vegan with simple swaps), and the aroma of basil, oregano, and garlic will make your kitchen smell absolutely off-the-charts fabulous.
Once you make this homemade version, you’ll never go back to store-bought soup again!

Pumpkin Custard Tart with Pecan Crust
Monday, October 6, 2025
When autumn rolls around, nothing says comfort dessert quite like pumpkin.
This Pumpkin Tart recipe combines a buttery spiced graham cracker crust with a silky pumpkin filling that’s sweetened with condensed milk and perfectly spiced.
Unlike traditional pumpkin pie, this tart is thinner, bakes quickly, and slices beautifully for serving at holiday gatherings.
Whether you’re hosting Thanksgiving, a fall dinner party, or just craving a cozy dessert with coffee, this pumpkin tart is the perfect make-ahead treat.
This tart also goes great with my pumpkin latte recipe down in the slow cooker.
