Love is in the air! There is also a chill in the air for most of us, so why not stay warm and cozy with your Valentine this year and make a warm bowl of Tomato Basil Soup?

This soup is so easy, rich, and be-yond delish with fresh, sweet basil and a bit of heavy cream mixed in. It’s also light enough that you can serve it as a starter to a fancy schmancy, romantic dinner at home, should you choose to celebrate Valentine’s Day inside, this year!

1 onion, chopped
