This Tomato Basil Soup is absolutely fabulous on its own, but if you’re looking for something extra… we suggest the following optional toppings.

Cream: A drizzle of warm cream will add an additional layer of richness to the base recipe. Add about a tbsp. of cream per bowl.

Croutons add a delightful crunch to the texture.

Additional Fresh Herbs: We sprinkled ours with more fresh thyme and basil leaves.
