CREAMY TOMATO BASIL SOUP

Steps:

• Add oil to a large soup pot over medium high heat. Once hot, add carrots, onions, and celery and sauté them for a few minutes.
• Add diced tomatoes, tomato paste, chicken broth, oregano, and dried basil. Bring to a gentle boil and cook for several minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
• Use an immersion blender or regular blender (you may need to do this in batches, depending on how big your blender is) to puree the soup until smooth. (This step is optional, if you like a smooth soup). Return it to the soup pot.
• In a separate pot, prepare the roux. Add butter to the pot over medium low heat and allow to melt. Stir in the flour and whisk together constantly for about 10 minutes or until the roux is a nice golden brown color.
• Add a big ladle full of the soup to the roux--it will start to form a thick paste. Add a few more big scoops of soup to the roux and stir well until smooth. Add the roux mixture to soup pot and stir to combine.
• Stir in the parmesan cheese, half and half, salt, pepper and basil. Add additional oregano and basil if needed, to taste. Stir well. Cook for a few more minutes until warmed through.

SLOW COOKER TOMATO BASIL PARMESAN SOUP

Steps:

• Add tomatoes, celery, carrots, chicken broth, onions, oregano, and basil to your slow cooker. {If you want your soup more smooth and less chunky, pulse celery, carrots, and onion in a food processor until very fine. I did this so my veggies were more hidden in the soup.}
• Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours until flavors are blended and vegetables are soft.
• About 30 minutes before the soup is ready prepare a roux.
• Melt the butter over medium low heat in a skillet and add the 1/2 cup of flour. Whisk together constantly for 5-7 minutes.
• Slowly add 1 cup of soup. This will start to form a thick paste. Slowly add another 3 cups of warm soup. Add this back to the slow cooker.
• Stir in the parmesan cheese, warmed half and half, and salt and pepper. Add additional oregano and basil if needed.
• Cover and cook on low for another 30 minutes.
• You can also blend the soup in a blender at the very end to smooth the soup out if you would like.
