Tomato Basil Soup – Recipe

When I came to USA one of the things that I craved most was home-cooked food. One day I felt like having tomato soup and called my mother for guidance. Since then with just a little variation I make tomato soup whenever I miss my home. The best part of the recipe is that it’s simple, easy and fast to cook.
