Tomato Soup


With all the tomatoes I have been getting from my garden I thought I would try my hand at making tomato soup. It was delish! Here is the recipe.


8 tomatoes peeled and seeded
1 lg can tomato juice (the big one, I think it was 64 oz.)
Fresh Basil (I used the whole fresh package you buy in the produce department)
1 cube butter
2 cups heavy whipping cream
Salt
Pepper
Onion Powder
Garlic Powder

I simmered the tomatoes, tomato juice, and basil for 30 minutes then added the other ingredients and let simmer for another 30 minutes. If you have one of those nifty blenders you put in the pot you can puree the soup. I tried my hand held mixer and it didn't do much so the soup was a little chunky. The family loved it!
