**NEW & IMPROVED RECIPE** 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).

    Tomato Basil Soup Mix

    Posted by Susan on Jul 17th 2024

    The cloves were a surprising and unwelcome spice addition. ***Anderson House Reply 7.18.24*** Thank you for your comments. While most of our customers enjoyed the clove, those that did not REALLY did not enjoy the clove. We recently removed clove from the recipe. Happy eating!

    I bought this for my mom for Xmas. She absolutely loved it! I had to go back to the store I bought it from to get more for her and got one for myself. I could not eat this fast enough! Highly recommend!!!

    Family favorite!

    The first time I made this I was going to make the variation served over rice, but misread it and just put the rice and extra water in the soup. My daughters loved it so much that now I always make it like this so it's creamy tomato rice soup. My daughters will literally say out of the blue, "Remember how good that creamy tomato rice soup is? Can we have that again this week?"

    Mississippi Delta Tomato Basil Soup

    Posted by S.Smith on Jan 15th 2024

    Made this today or my husband's lunch. I didn't have any tomato puree, but substituted fire roasted tomatoes. Added 3/4 pound of diced smoked pepper jack sausage links and 1/3 cup chopped celery. Simmered for 30 minutes and it was so good.

    Tomato Basil

    Posted by Marie on Dec 13th 2023

    We tried your soup this evening, I did take the liberty to add: frozen peas and carrots, then a little more pepper, fresh basil, a can of chicken, whipping cream, and I only had tomato sauce in the cabinet so I added that. Let it simmer about an hour and a half on the stove top…my husband loved it. Said it really filled him up. Good soup and best thing for me…No Soy! Looking on site for what to make next.
