One of the “regular foods” I miss the most in the winter time is canned tomato soup with grilled cheese sandwiches. I’ve tried a few recipes for tomato soup and never quite loved it. This is a mix of several recipes I’ve tried and I think it’s awesome. I made this with my 4 year old daughter one afternoon last week and we had so much fun.
Tomato Soup
3 (15 oz) cans tomatoes (you can use whole, diced, whatever…it’s just going in the blender)
1 (8 oz) can tomato sauce
1 cup chicken broth
1 Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp dried basil
1/2-1 cup chopped onion (I only did 1/2 cup but next time I’ll do more)
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup skim milk
Put all ingredients except the milk into large pot and bring to boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 20 minutes. Pour soup into a blender (I did this in 2 batches) and blend on low for about 30 seconds, until smooth. Return to pot and add milk. Eat with grilled cheese sandwiches. =)
