Creamy Tomato Soup


If you are someone who makes tomato soup from a condensed can (ME!) I highly recommend that you try this recipe. It is easy as can be, can be made with things you already have in your pantry and how a taste that you just won't believe!

I'm feeling like today is the day you make some tomato soup from scratch. 


Ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup onion (chopped)
2 cloves garlic (chopped)
1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 1/2 cups water
3 cups low-sodium diced tomatoes (canned)
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 teaspoon black pepper


Directions

1. Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook until soft, approx 3 minutes.

2. Add chicken broth, water, and tomatoes, bring to boil. Lower heat and cook uncovered for 25 minutes or until mixture begins to thicken.

3. Remove from heat. Blend in a blender until smooth, if you’d like. Soup can be smooth or chunky. Return to pot and heat over medium heat until soup is hot.

4. Stir in milk and black pepper.
