Yesterday was hot and I didn't especially feel like cooking because my husband is out of town. That and cooking just for kids can be a real pain, especially picky eaters. So about half an hour after our regular dinner time, I finally decided to throw together some grilled cheese sandwiches. I like to eat my grilled cheese with tomato soup, but since I don't have any canned soup I had to make my own. The following recipe is what I came up with. Nothing fancy, but it's easy, fast and my kids actually ate it...well first they complained about how yucky it was...until they tasted it, then it didn't take too long to disappear.
You can definitely enhance the soup by using fresh chopped, garlic, and basil, but for a decent meal in under 10 minutes, the dried spices worked just fine.
Simple Cream of Tomato Soup
-1 can of diced Tomatoes
-1/4 C cream or milk
-1 tsp garlic powder (or minced garlic)
-2 tsp onion powder (or diced onions)
-basil to taste
-salt and pepper to taste
-1 bay leaf (to be removed before serving)
-Mix everything together and bring to a boil. Simmer on low heat until you are ready to serve.
-If you don't like chunky tomato soup, you can blend your ingredients before heating, or use tomato sauce instead of the diced tomatoes.
