Mississippi Delta Tomato Basil Soup

Homemade in Minutes

$8.49

Our beloved Mississippi Delta Tomato Basil Soup is back and better than ever! This new and improved blend is bursting with vibrant flavors of ripe tomato, aromatic basil, sweet bell pepper, butternut squash, and garden carrots—all perfectly balanced with tender rice for a smooth, hearty finish.

Inspired by the comforting Southern tradition of home-cooked tomato soup, this upgraded version has more depth, more warmth, and more reasons to fall in love. It’s everything you crave in a tomato basil soup—rich, creamy, and soul-satisfying—with just the right touch of sweetness.

Simply add chicken or vegetable broth, tomato purée, a hint of brown sugar, and cream for a bowl that tastes like it simmered all afternoon (but only takes about 35 minutes to prepare).

    Outstanding!

    Posted by Patricia A. on Feb 2nd 2026

    I just had to reach out to let you know the Tomato Basil Soup is outstanding! We just finished dinner and there is just enough left for lunch tomorrow. I absolutely love that I could identify each ingredient in the packet, and no unnecessary fillers, salt or preservatives. So easy to make and so delicious! I bought this about 2 years ago from granddaughter’s gymnastics club, along with several other of your products, but I just found this one hiding in my pantry. I will definitely be purchasing more of your products in the near future. Thank you for making such wonderful products.

    So bitter!

    Posted by Petey on Jan 28th 2026

    I was so excited to see this back, and ordered several, and now I wish I hadn’t. I don’t agree with the other reviews, this soup was so bitter with herbs that the added sugar and cream could not overcome. It didn’t even really taste of tomatoes or peppers, as it once did… just bitter herbs and carrots. There also are no large pieces of tomato wheels, even though the photography still shows that. In our opinion, this is terrible and went from one of the best soups to the worst by far. ***Anderson House Reply*** Hi Petey, we are so sorry you had a bad experience with our Tomato Basil. We are a little miffed at that over-powering bitter flavor, we have not heard this from anyone else and while we did revise this recipe recently, we made only very minor tweaks to the herb blend and did not touch the Bay Leaf amount which is where the bitter would likely come from. Regardless, give us a call and we will make it right! 847.688.1200!

    Mississippi Delta Tomato Basil Soup

    Posted by Jo Anna on Jan 11th 2026

    I was thrilled to see this available again and hope the new version is as tasty as the previous. I was soooo sad when I thought it was discontinued. Guests have said it’s the best soup they’ve ever tasted. I use a veg cube for stock and soymilk, and it’s delicious. Just ordered the new mix and can’t wait for it to arrive. Thank you!

    Just wanted to say thank you for bringing back the tomato basil soup! We could live off it and the corn chowder! Both are our absolute favorites. Thank you again.

    Awesome!

    Posted by Angie on May 26th 2025

    This is the best tomato soup I’ve ever made! Love it so much, but for some reason not available on your website, why? ***Anderson House Reply*** Thank you! We had an ingredient sourcing issue and are in the process of reworking and relisting on the site! Hoping by 9/1!
