Great question! Tomato soup is typically just made with tomatoes, broth, and seasonings, so it’s smooth and straightforward. Tomato basil soup, on the other hand, includes fresh basil which adds a fragrant, herby flavor and extra depth. The basil also gives the soup a slightly more complex taste and can make it feel a bit fresher. Both are delicious, but the basil definitely brings an extra layer of yum!
