Big Decision...Friday
Haha. It's not a Friday Favorites post, though I will try to do one later. I have decided that I may attempt to make...Chicken Noodle Soup today. Which doesn't sound like a big deal, but you also don't know my relationship with Chicken Noodle Soup. It's generally a HEAVILY skeptical, squinty eyed "I don't like you, I don't trust you and I'm 97% sure I don't want you in my mouth" relationship. Honest to goodness, I didn't eat Chicken Noodle Soup until I was...21. And when I get sick, heads will roll if someone brings me the stuff (instead I eat Chicken Tortilla [from Rayley's]{I'm a terrible sick person.}). That being said, there is that 3% of the time when I love the soup. Now, all I have to do is figure out how to make it personally so that it falls into that 3%. Wish me luck!

Tomato Soup...TOMATO BASIL SOUP
BIG DIFFERENCE. I do like them both, but Tomato Basil is SO much richer. But! Do you know why it is so much richer?? Because legit Tomato Basil calls for heavy cream AND a good chunk of butter. Delicious...definitely not nutritious. My favorite recipe, thus far, is from allrecipes.com (In your face! Not from Tiffany! Lol.) http://allrecipes.com/recipe/rich-and-creamy-tomato-basil-soup/detail.aspx It's super legit. 5 out of 5.
Today I pulled this recipe from: http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/tomato-basil-soup-10000000225897/. It's also legit. The cream cheese did not blend in properly, so there were specks throughout. Didn't actually affect the taste. I will say that I added sugar at the end because it was very acidic. (I also used a combination of tomato paste and water instead of tomato juice) So, I think it was "cleaner" than the OG version above because it used 2% milk instead of cream, but it also used cream cheese instead of butter & cream. I don't think cream cheese, I know, isn't clean. Clearly I'll have to keep looking.
Until then, there is always Tiffany's recipe!!! It's totally clean and totally delicious. It's just not a Tomato Basil, solely Tomato-- which is fine if that's what you're in the mood for. Personally, I like to add extra carrots. http://www.thegraciouspantry.com/clean-eating-tomato-soup/ .
Until I figure out how to make clean Tomato Basil, I'll just have to keep going back and forth between these three. Clearly cooking Tomato soup more often than Tomato Basil...maybe. :D Salud!
