Tomato Soup. It’s starting to get cold outside in much of America, what’s better than tomato soup and a grilled cheese, right? Last night I had a hankering for some tomato soup, but didn’t have any. I had cans of tomato sauce though!

Ingredients:

15 ounce can of tomato sauce

1/4 cup non-fat milk (less if it has fat)

1 Tbl fresh diced onion

1 tsp olive oil

1/4 tsp basil

1/8 tsp ground pepper (or to taste)

Pinch of salt (or to taste)

Dash of garlic powder

Recipe:

Dice your onion, use your chef’s knife and slice off a bit of onion, maybe 1/2″. Remove the dried layers and lay it on your cutting board cut side down. Slice it carefully about 1/8″ slices, then cut across those slices to make little 1/8″ cubes. (OK, hard part done)

Put your olive oil into your sauce pot, and add the onion. Cook the onion on a medium low heat until it gets clear. Once it’s clear, add your dry ingredients and mix, then pour the sauce & milk on top. Mix, then cover and lower the heat to the lowest setting your stove has.

Take a look at it and stir every 5 minutes. Cook until you can’t wait to eat it. Don’t forget to make some grilled cheese to go with it! Enjoy…
