I fell in love with Mimi's Tomato Soup and thought with some research, I could come up with something similar! This is how I did it... so good on a cold day like today! If ya make it like I did, you will need:
4 C. crushed tomatoes
4 chicken bouillion cubes
4 C. boiling water
2 Tb. butter
2 garlic cloves
1/2 C. chopped onion
1/4 C. sugar
Salt & Pepper
1 C. heavy whipping cream
2 Tb. dry basil
*Sour cream, Cilantro, Cheddar Cheese if desired!
Pour 4 cups of boiling water over 4 bouillion cubes and set aside.
Sautee garlic and onion in butter about 5-10 minutes.
Add crushed tomatoes and get it real hot.
Add tomato and onion mixture to the chicken broth, add sugar, some salt & pepper and bring to boil.
Remove from heat, add cup heavy whipping cream & dry basil. (I prefer fresh basil if I have it! :)
*Add a little cilantro, a dollup of sour cream, some grated cheddar cheese and had this yummo soup with a grilled cheese sandwich! Awesome!
