With the basil starting to bush up and the fresh tomatoes starting to arrive, this just seemed like a no-brainer!!

I had made basil pesto in my Pampered Chef Deluxe Cooking Blender and no matter how hard you try, it is hard to get every last bit off the bottom. So….because I was not about to let this go to waste, I decided to make soup in the blender, putting that last little bit to a great use!!

For a great stovetop version of this recipe process tomatoes in a food processor and add ingredients as instructed below. For another similar stovetop version go here.
