Tomato Basil Soup

Would you please add tomato basil soup to your recipes? Thank you! --Lori
Hi Lori, Have you tried my Fresh Tomato Pasta Soup? It has a tablespoon of minced fresh basil (along with other herbs), but if you’d like a more basil flavor, use 3 tablespoons basil and omit the other herbs. I think you’ll like it!

    I want to pan-fry pork chops, fix dressing, and then just place the chops on the dressing toward the end of the baking time. Would you put a cubed apple or raisins in the dressing? Would you use mushroom soup or chicken broth for liquid in dressing? THANKS! --Susie
