Oh, it was cold this week here in Massachusetts! There were also wind chills that made the cold temperatures feel even colder! Well, it is New England and it does happen. A bowl of hearty soup on a frigid night always tastes so good. One soup that takes very little time to prepare and is delicious is Tomato Basil White Bean Soup.

After placing all of the ingredients in a large pot, stir and then bring to a boil. After boiling, turn down the heat to a simmer and simmer for 30 Minutes. It is so easy to prep and tastes so good! Each spoonful has small bits of tomato and beans combined with Parsley and Basil. 

If I already have cooked Rice in my fridge, I add that to the pot at the end, to heat the Rice up. If not, I prepare a small amount of Couscous and put it in the bottom of each soup bowl. Then, add the soup and stir the Couscous into the soup.

Enjoy!
Yummy!

The word is out! Here in New England snow is in our future for this weekend!  Looks like snowblowers, snow plows and snow shovels will be put to very good use on Sunday.  Any time the word snow is mentioned I think of a bowl of hearty hot soup.  One that is easy to prep is always a bonus.  Tomato Basil White Bean Soup fits that description.  

You probably have the ingredients in your kitchen ready to use.  Chicken Broth, tomato sauce, canned tomatoes, dried basil and kidney beans are quite often staples for many of us.  There are a few more ingredients, too.  I also add Couscous to the soup, but it is not necessary.  If I do not have white kidney beans, I use red kidney beans instead.  It takes little time to prepare and it is so delicious!

Click here for my Tomato Basil White Bean Soup recipe.  If you do not prepare a batch this weekend, save the recipe for next weekend!  Our chilly weather is here.

Enjoy!
Yummy!
