I was inspired to make this recipe thanks to my friend, Eliot, who shared her amazing Raw Thai Coconut Soup the other week. I never would have thought to use young thai coconut to make a soup creamy, but that is exactly what it does! I had some fresh basil that needed to be used up so I thought why not try making a creamy tomato basil soup? So happy with how it turned out. It is thick, creamy, and bursting with flavor! I kept the ingredients pretty simple so it's easy to just throw into a blender and serve in a pinch because if you're like me, you need to make your free time count and can't spend all day in the kitchen!
