Roasted Tomato Basil Soup

Roasted Tomato Basil Soup is one of our very favorites! This is actually one of the first recipes I posted when I began my blog BUT, the photo did not do this amazing recipe justice! I simply had to update it and share it again with all of you. Yep, it’s that good 🙂

AND the rolls in the photo are to die for… they’re called pretzel rolls and my sister got me addicted to them about a year ago! They’re from Costco.

Yum! This looks irresistable Ruthie! I wasn’t a big fan of tomato soup as a child but now I absolutely love it. Great idea to add the gnocchi to make a hearty meal. Oh, and I’ll be heading to Costco to find those rolls!
