Not Your Average Tomato Soup: Why Rosie’s Homemade Tomato Basil Soup is So Much Better!
It’s rich, filled with flavor, and made with love – just the way soup should be made!
Let’s face it, when people think of tomato soup, they may think of the stuff that comes out of the red and white can that they use to have as a kid. Your mom would add some water or milk to it, heat it up, and that was lunch. It was convenient. It might even bring back a few childhood memories, good or bad. But when was the last time an ordinary bowl of tomato soup made you say, “WOW! That’s really good!!”
Get ready for a whole new tomato soup experience!
At Rosie’s Sidekick Sandwich Shop, our homemade Tomato Basil soup is ANYTHING but ordinary – and certainly not boring. It has a rich, tomato flavor, the sweet taste of fresh basil, and that comforting homemade goodness that you will never find in a can.
What’s the Difference?
Well, in one word – everything!
First of all, plain tomato soup tends to be one-dimensional. It can be overly sweet, sometimes too salty, and missing that fresh, homemade taste.
Our Tomato Basil Soup is a different story altogether.
You see, Freddy never grew up with that canned stuff. His mom, Rosie, only made soup from scratch, and tomato basil soup was one of his favorites. He still remembers the sweet smell of fresh basil in the kitchen … that’s a great childhood memory!
When he was old enough, he would stand on a stool and watch what his mom was doing, then he would help her. Tomatoes and basil are one of those classic Italian combinations that just belong together. There are the natural richness and acidity of the tomatoes, paired beautifully with the slightly sweet flavor of the basil. They create a soup that is hearty and full of character – kind of like Freddy!
Freddy still makes his Tomato Basil Soup the way his mom showed him, with a few twists of his own, of course. But it’s still all from scratch, and all made with love. It’s about taking the time to develop the flavors to create something people will enjoy eating.
Homemade isn’t just a catchy word to put on a label. It really MEANS something. It’s part of who we are. It’s what we do day in and day out. From slow-roasting our Italian beef, to rolling our meatballs, to making our soups, we believe good food is worth the extra effort.
Our Tomato Basil Soup fits right into that philosophy.
For those cold Chicago days? You’re going to want to try all of our homemade soups!
