Hello soup season!

One of the few reasons I love winter is that it’s soup season.

This 3 Point Tomato Basil Dill Soup will make you very happy.

So, one time, my best friend called me over because she made some delicious tomato dill soup.

That was back when we were in our 20’s and had very little responsibility.

I miss those days.

Sometimes.

The soup she made was so good and I remember thinking that I had to make it on my own.

I craved that soup every time it would get just slightly chilly.

Since that day, I have made that soup time and time again.

That soup is delicious, but not exactly good for the hips.

So a few weeks ago, I decided to make it again, but with a twist.

I love tomato basil soup BUT I love tomato dill soup as well.

Growing up, I was never really introduced to anything but canned tomato soup, and I didn’t like it.

I can’t stand raw tomatoes but I do love this soup!

I’m also a big fan of marinara and spaghetti sauce as well.

Strange? Maybe.

Anyways, the first time I actually tried a different kind of tomato soup was about 10 years ago at a restaurant.

Their “soup of the day” was tomato dill and anything with dill always sounds good to me.

That particular soup was delicious and my obsession began.

So, when my friend said she made that soup, I was in!

We’ve been at home a lot, and I’ve had my hands full, so I haven’t been cooking up many new recipes.

So when I was craving soup the other day, of course the tomato soup came into my head.

However, I wanted something easy and something that would fit my points budget.

I have cut down the fat in this recipe, but you wouldn’t know it!

I’m really proud of this recipe.

It does not sacrifice any taste for health!

The first step is to wash and cut the tomatoes in half.

Drizzle a teaspoon of olive oil all over the tomatoes and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

When drizzling the oil, it doesn’t take much because it spreads easily.

Just make sure you aren’t using more than the one teaspoon so the points don’t change.

You can also place the teaspoon of oil on a plate and dip each half into it for an easier method.

After that, you roast the tomatoes in the oven for about an hour.

You’ll know the tomatoes are ready because they will be sizzling and start to shrivel.

You then start to sauté the onions, garlic, dill, basil, sugar, Roma tomatoes and crushed tomatoes in the pot with the butter and olive oil.

You then add the chicken broth and let it simmer a bit.

After it has all cooked down, you add the half and half and puree.

I recommend using an emersion blender.

If you don’t have an emersion blender, you can use a regular blender, but you have to be really careful doing that with hot food.

Too many times I have burned my hands or splattered piping hot soup bits on my body trying to puree in a blender.

If you don’t have an emersion blender, you can purchase the one I got for an inexpensive price here.

It comes with a whisk and that has come in handy for different recipes many times as well!

After you have blended the soup, you can top with whatever toppings you want, but you don’t need any.

The soup is tasty enough without toppings.

I have added croutons or cheese before.

If you add any toppings, make sure that you add those points to the meal.

As with any tomato soup, a grilled cheese makes a great pairing for this soup as well.

I would say that it takes about an hour total to make this soup, but a great deal of that time is spent roasting the tomatoes.

I hope you enjoy this 3 point Tomato Basil Dill Soup!
