For the February launch, here’s a soup recipe our family enjoys wintry nights with a green salad & crusty bread:
2 garlic cloves (chopped)
1 small onion (chopped)
2 (15 ounce) cans diced fire-roasted tomatoes
2 (10 3/4 ounce) cans tomato soup
2 (10 ounce) cans milk (use soup can)
10 fresh basil leaves, chopped or 1 tablespoon dried basil
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can chicken broth
3 tablespoons Italian-style tomato paste
1⁄2 cup light cream or 1⁄2 cup half-and-half
1⁄4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 (9 ounce) package cheese tortellini
In soup pot, heat olive oil then add onion and garlic. Saute till soft over medium heat.
Add canned diced tomatoes, broth, tomato paste, basil, tomato soup, and the milk. Stir well till blended.
Simmer for 25 minutes.
Add light cream and parmesan cheese.
Lastly, add tortellini and cook about 15 minutes or until tender.
Enjoy!
