Notes

For a richer flavor, consider roasting the tomatoes in the oven with a drizzle of olive oil before adding them to the crockpot. If you prefer a thicker consistency, reduce the amount of broth or allow the soup to simmer uncovered for a while longer. Garnish with additional fresh basil or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese for added taste.
