Ingredients:
- 2 15oz cans of tomato sauce (only ingredients should be tomatoes & spices)
- 1/2 can of water
- 2 cups grape tomatoes, slightly pureed
- 1/2 vidalia onion, chopped small
- 2-3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 TB olive oil
- 1/2 cup of fat free half-and-half
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 TB sugar
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1/2 tsp dried basil
- OPTIONAL-tbsp of Franks Red Hot (if you want a little zing to your soup!)
Directions:
1) Puree the grape tomatoes with either a food chopper or the small bowl of your food processor. Don't have either? Toss them into the regular food processor & it will do just fine. Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a medium soup pan & saute the garlic & onion until the onions are soft. Once soft, add the tomatoes & their juices.
2) Add all of the spices to the tomato mixture & toss. Add the two cans of tomato sauce & a half can of water. Bring to a boil, reduce to medium heat, & add the half-and-half. Simmer for about 15 minutes, taste for seasoning, and serve.
