Recipe: La Madeleine’s Tomato Basil Soup
A couple years ago I had the priviledge of going to La Madeleine’s in Rockville, MD. It was very quaint, charming, and had a very french environment. I enjoyed it a lot, -especially- their tomato basil soup (though Signature soups has a great recipe as well). I just happened across the recipe so I thought I’d share:
