Creamy Tomato Basil Soup
Let’s get real — this Creamy Tomato Basil Soup is the warm hug your chaotic day deserves. It’s smooth, rich, and slightly dramatic (like us before coffee). The roasted tomatoes blend with basil, garlic, and coconut cream to create something that tastes expensive — even though it’s not. It’s perfect for those nights when cooking feels illegal, but you still want something wholesome and fancy. Pair it with crusty bread, put on your “I-have-it-together” playlist, and pretend you’re in a cozy Italian café — without leaving your messy kitchen.
