Tomato Basil Soup (Nordstrom Copycat)

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Chop 2 carrots into small cubes and set aside.

Peel and roughly chop 1 onion.

Preheat several tablespoons of avocado oil in a pot over medium heat.

Add the chopped onions and carrots to the pot and sauté until golden, about 1 minute.

Add Italian seasoning and the canned tomatoes to the pot, stirring to combine.

Pour in chicken stock to make the soup more liquidy and bring to a simmer for about 25 minutes.

After 20 minutes of simmering, add fresh basil leaves to the pot.

Blend the soup using a hand blender or in batches with a traditional blender, being careful of splatters due to heat.

Season the blended soup with salt to taste and add heavy whipping cream, stirring to combine.

Bring the soup back to a simmer and serve hot, garnished with Parmesan cheese if desired.
