Tomato basil soup in BR

Seems like the perfect night for soup and grilled cheese. I've picked up a pint from whole foods before, but not sure if that's something they have on a regular basis. La Madeline has a pretty good one too. Any other places I'm missing?

Oddly enough, I think the one at BJ's is really good.
People like Chelsea's, but I find that it is just spicy marinara sauce. It is much better if you get it mixed half and half with their Cream of Artichoke soup to cut it some and make it creamier like La Mad.
Also, I make a killer one at home.

So simple.
This recipe doesn't have basil, but just use fresh basil near the end so you don't lose the flavor.

INGREDIENTS:
2 lbs. roma tomatoes, halved lengthwise
1-2 Tbsp. vegetable or canola oil
1 small white onion
4 cloves garlic, minced
1.5 cups chicken or vegetable stock
1 Tbsp. smoked paprika
2/3 cup heavy cream
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment, and lay out tomatoes so that they are in a single layer. Drizzle or mist with 1-2 tablespoons of vegetable or canola oil, and then sprinkle generously with salt and black pepper. Roast until tomatoes are tender, about an hour.
Meanwhile, heat a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add onion and saute for about 5 minutes until the onion is soft and translucent. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute. Then add the chicken or vegetable stock, bay leaf, smoked paprika, roasted tomatoes and cooked bacon and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 15-20 minutes to slightly reduce.
If desired, use an immersion blender to puree the soup. Or transfer the soup in small batches into a blender and puree until smooth. (Be very careful pureeing hot liquids!) Transfer the soup back to the stockpot and stir in the heavy cream. Remove from the heat and serve immediately.

The Londoner on Sherwood Forest has really good tomato soup...
But if that's too far...the Chelsea's recommendation is good too.

If you want a grilled cheese Chelseas. Their tomato basil soup is pretty good too.

There may be some recipes in the TD recipe book or check the soup thread I just bumped. I have a roasted tomato recipe that's now in the TD book, I believe. It's excellent.

I clearly am the only person who doesn't like it un-mixed.
It's so spicy for me! I am a wuss.

La Madeleine is the place.

I get the grilled cheese and tomato basil when I go to Chelsea's. Sometimes if I want to have that at the house I will pick up the tomato basil soup that Rotolo's sells in a jar. Quick and easy meal.

Costco sells La Madeleine tomato basil in the refrigerated cases near the cheeses. IIRC, the country potato as well.

City Pork had tomato basil soup one night as a special and it was delicious.
