Southern Living's Basil Tomato Soup
This recipe honestly makes soup for many & then some so have a huge soup party! The best part about this soup? It is topped with sprinkles of fried okra, bringing on Southern flair.
I paired this with easy pimento cheese biscuits. I cut raw Pillsbury biscuits in half, spread pimento cheese on the bottom, placed the top back on & cooked according to instructions.
We enjoyed the soup & biscuits with Crystal Light in mason jars & lemonades for dessert. Now... Kat introduced me to these most amazing lemon cookies (i.e. lemonades). These are extra delicious (and easy). Here we go... Mix one box lemon cake mix + one tub of Cool Whip + one egg. Form balls and roll each in powdered sugar, then place on a cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for eight or so minutes. Sticky dough = amazing cookies (so worth it)!
I sent Cara home with some cookies, and I brought some to share at work the next day. I did so by placing a few cookies in a bag, with a striped straw (since they are lemonades), added a citrus bow and voila! A super fun and sweet treat... Especially perfect for summertime.
