Tomato Soup like my mother never made (NOT a throwback to Campbell’s canned soup)

January 3, 2012

I’ve made this three times lately to use up some tomatoes plus wanting something tasty to eat. It’s very easy – not quite as easy as opening a can but so, so much better tasting.

Fresh Ingredients
1 thick slice of onion
1-2 cloves garlic, minced
4 plum tomatoes, chopped
1-2 T sour cream

Pantry Fare
2 cups broth
splash of balsamic vinegar

Oils and Spices
2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp dried basil

Saute the onion and garlic until lightly browned. Add the tomatoes, broth, basil, vinegar, and sugar. Simmer for 30 minutes to blend flavors. Add salt and season more to taste if necessary. Add sour cream and blend the mixture.

Makes 2 generous servings.

Be healthy!
