Tonight's Dinner



Since it was cold out, I thought it would be nice to have a warm bowl of soup. Here is a photo and the recipe I used. Next time, I'd add more fresh basil and some roasted garlic. Possibly even a bit of bell pepper and onion.
Amy's Fire Roasted Tomato Soup
1 12 ounce can, Fire Roasted Tomatoes
1 12 ounce can, Diced Tomatoes
3 cloves garlic
15 fresh basil leaves
2 TBS butter
1 quart- heavy cream

In a large blender or food processor, combine tomatoes, garlic and basil. Puree until smooth. In a heavy bottom pot, place pureed mixture, butter and cream on medium for 30-40 minutes. This will get the "raw" taste out and enhance the roasted flavor. Add salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder to taste.

Serve with grilled cheese and salad.

Enjoy
