Have you had the Nordstrom Tomato Basil Soup?  It is out of this world good…and I don’t even like tomato soup!! I found a copycat recipe a few years ago on the internet and have spent the last little while trying to work it down to something manageable…the original recipe made 128 servings!! Needless to say I would only make it for special events. lol! I’ve also made it a little easier and a little healthier.

Serve it with a side of grilled cheese sandwiches and you’re all set! A big loaf of crusty italian bread cut in thick slices makes for the best sandwiches!!

I’ve had several requests for the recipe so without any further ado…
