Nordstroms Tomato Basil Soup

My mom has used this recipe for a while. This soup is always awesome! It's perfect on a windy fall day and to take to a friend. Everyone loves this soup for many good reasons. It's creamy, full of flavor, great with bread, and is an excellent source of vitamin A! I see myself making this soup for years to come.
