53 Mondays–Tomato Soup

I did cook this weekend, but the recipes are upstairs, so I’ll add those later.  I made a super easy and really warming tomato soup today. 

TOMATO SOUP

2) 15 ounce cans of chicken/vegetable broth (I used a 32 ounce box)

1) 28 ounce can crushed tomatoes

1 cup heavy cream (I used half-and-half, because that’s what I had on hand)

salt and pepper to taste

apx 1 teaspoon dried basil  (or more fresh if you have it). 

 

Combine broth and tomatoes in stock pot and heat.  While simmering, add cream and seasonings.  Heat through. 

 

So easy.  So warming for winter!  Yum!  I made some Spanish rice this weekend and had some leftovers and added a few scoops to see how that would turn out and was really happy with the result.  It made for a warm, filling lunch!
