Tomato Soup
Points: 4
I used a ramekin so I could put the soup bowls in the oven on broil - to get a nice melted cheesy top. Note: Fresh basil recommended for this (not dried). Recipe makes about 6 servings.
Total Cook/Prep time: 1 hour
Ingredients
- 1 can tomato puree (28 oz)
- 1 can crushed tomatoes (28 oz)
- 1 quart chicken broth
- 1/2 cup Half and Half
- 1 small onion (diced)
- 1/2 tsp dried Thyme
- 8 - 10 fresh basil leaves
- Spray of olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- For the cheese top:
- Light shredded mozzarella cheese (1 oz per ramekin)
- Shaved Parmesan cheese (1 tbsp per ramekin)
Directions
Heat a pot on low heat
Spray the pot with olive oil and add the onions
Heat the onions for about 3 - 4 minutes, stirring occasionally to be sure the onions don't burn
Add the remaining ingredients to the pot (except cheese)
Simmer about 40 minutes
Heat oven on broil setting - move rack to highest position
Distribute the hot soup into 2 ramekins
Top with the cheese and broil for about 3 - 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and slightly charred
