The weather is COLD and what better way to celebrate with an easy peasy Tomato Soup. Tweaked from this recipe,
2 (15-ounce) containers, chicken or vegetable stock/broth
1 (28-ounce) can concentrated crushed tomatoes
1 cup heavy cream (can substitute fat free half and half to make it much lower in fat)
Coarse salt and black pepper
1 white onion (chopped)
2 cloves garlic (chopped)
20 leaves fresh basil, cut into chiffonade, for garnish
Saute onion and garlic in medium saucepan over moderate heat. When onions are translucent, add broth and tomatoes. When soup bubbles, stir in heavy cream and reduce heat to low. Season with a little salt and pepper and simmer gently 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. With an immersion blender, puree soup. Serve bowls of soup with basil chiffonade.
You can see from the comments on the Food Network site that this recipe is easily tweaked to your individual taste. We served with grilled cheese sandwiches.

This looks BEAUTIFUL! And also the perfect antidote to all the turkey and stuffing I’m going to eat tonight :)
I just love tomato soup but all the canned versions have so much salt in them…this is such a simple and tasty looking recipe that I’m for SURE going to give it a try!
Have a beautiful thanksgiving ladies, and thank you for the continued inspiration of your blog and for the kindness of your generous spirits!
