On my quest to find the ultimate tomato-basil soup, I am experimenting with recipe prospects. Today’s version is from Cooking Light Magazine, March 2012. The only variations taken due to ingredients on hand, were using regular cream cheese, 2% milk, and Mozzarella cheese. Also I added 2 tablespoons tomato paste to intensify flavor and color. This is a good start on my tomato-basil soup journey, and certainly one to consider as a lighter version. I liked the crunch of the veggies in this but next time, I would reduce the onions to half and the garlic cloves in soup from 3 to one; they overpowered the tomato/basil flavors.
