This is the second recipe in my Fall Soup Series! This tomato soup is so easy to make and is full of flavor. It’s fresh from the basil, a little spicy from the red pepper flakes, and has just a touch of cream mixed in at the end.

This tomato soup pairs perfectly with an ooey gooey grilled cheese. I served this with my Caramelized Onion Grilled Cheese and the combination was PERFECTION. I highly recommend you give it a try.
