Creamy Tomato Basil Soup & Bacon Cheese Quesadilla’s
It may not be winter anymore, but here in Florida it’s a miserable, dreary day as we wait for a tropical storm to decide whether or not to hit. As we wait, I decided whipping up a batch of tomato soup and bacon quesadillas sounded like the perfect way to pass the time and enjoy some comfort food!
Some cool facts about Basil – Did you know basil provides protection against unwanted bacterial growth including Staph and Pseudomonas? Either did I until today! Those are two tough bacterias that have been harder to kill because they have developed a high resistance to antibiotics. Basil is also healthy for your heart and has anti inflammatory properties. While we’re on the subject of heart health, tomatoes have been shown to lower total cholesterol and help prevent unwanted clumping of platelet cells in the blood. And these are just a few of the health benefits of this meal! Enjoy!
