Debbie's Notes:

I am not too much of a tomato soup fan, but I just love this wonderful soup.It not only tastes good, it makes a beautiful presentation. Simply add some crunchy garlic bread sticks and you have a special meal in a hurry.

Comments from the Test Kitchen: Kitchen Crew

The buttermilk in this recipe adds a wonderfully rich flavor and texture. Bring on the grilled cheese!

Thanks Leah and Wendy! I am so very honored. I love things that are so easy to fix but look like you have been in the kitchen slaving over that stove all day! LOL!

Oh I cannot wait to try this! I used to get a creamy tomato dill soup at my favorite italian deli but we've moved so this my be the next best thing! I might try subsituting the dill for the basil though. I tried making this from scratch with fresh tomatoes from garden but jsut toooo much work. I'm excited to try this.

Congrats Debbie, and thanks for sharing this! Sounds delightful. I am going to make this tonight with some grilled cheese, kind of a low key Valentine's Dinner for us after the kids go off to play!

Lastnight I made this fabulous soup for my husband and I. Followed per directions and used a can of Basil/Garlic Petite Diced Tomatoes. My husbby and I loved it! The buttermilk made it smooth and delish. Next time I may drain a 2nd can of tomatoes since we loved the pieces of tomato in it, or better yet, will double the recipe! Thanks again Debbie :)
