Tomato Basil Soup
There’s a SMALL
area in our backyard that we turned it into a vegetable garden. Our tomatoes are
turning red, the herb-ish scent of the basil is spreading in the air… perfect
combination to make the Tomato Basil Soup from SCRATCH by using the fresh
produce!!!
To give it a little sweetness to the soup, I've added 1 packet of "ketchup" I got from the fast food restaurant... hahaha! not my fault, sometimes they just gave out too much ketchup for one small bag of french fries. So now you know, do not throw away the precious free ingredients~
