Just finished making Tomato-Basil vegetable soup from scratch.

I’m Italian and as my friends know… cooking homemade meals from scratch is a major part of our family; pretty much revolves around that. It’s more of a social thing than anything and a way to learn recipes and traditions passed down for generations.

Yellow squash, carrots, celery stalks and leaves, tomatoes, great Northern beans, and fresh basil in a tomato cream sauce. All the vegetables and herbs are from the garden with the exception of the celery and Northern beans. I’m actually pretty proud of it because everyone liked it a lot. The entire pot was gone within a couple minutes, haha.
