Caprese Soup

Maybe it comes from my Italian heritage or maybe it's the fact that the foods go so good together, but I love anything caprese. Mozzarella, tomato, and basil is so yummy, even if it's just with some olive oil and bread.

I made a caprese soup and it was SO good. It was very similar to a French Onion soup only with different ingredients. I highly recommend it.


I got the original recipe from: http://www.heatherchristo.com

Ingredients:
Tomato Basil Soup
Bread such as a baguette
Fresh Mozzarella
Pesto

First you need a tomato basil soup. You can make one from scratch but I was too hungry for that. I bought a nice canned soup: Amy's Tomato Basil Soup. It's organic and very good. Once you have that made you can serve it into your oven safe soup bowl. 

While you are cooking the soup put baguette slices in the oven on Broil until toasted. You want them crunchy but not over cooked. When they are done spread  a little pesto on each slice. 

Put the bread slices onto the soup. I used two slices for one bowl of soup. On top lay two slices of fresh mozzarella. Put the bowl in the oven on Broil for about five minutes until the cheese is melted and golden brown. 

Now enjoy! This is a yummy dinner, especially for fall, and also very filling!
