Recreate the delicious Applebee's tomato-basil soup at home and enjoy it with a classic grilled cheese for a comforting weeknight meal.
Ingredients:
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small clove garlic, minced
  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed tomato soup
  • 0.25 cup bottled marinara sauce
  • 0.5 (10.75 ounce) can water
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano, or to taste
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil, or more to taste
  • 6 Italian-style seasoned croutons, or as needed
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions:
  • In a large saucepan over medium heat, sauté garlic in olive oil until tender and fragrant for 2 to 3 minutes. Add condensed soup and marinara sauce. Fill the empty soup can halfway with water, swirl, and gently pour into the saucepan.
  • Season with fragrant oregano and a dash of pepper, then gently simmer. Lower the heat and let it meld for 15 minutes. Finish by stirring in fresh basil.
  • Serve the soup in bowls and garnish with croutons and freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
