Tomato Soup

Original recipe from me. :)

Tomato soup from a can may have its place, but this version can be made straight from the garden tomatoes that our whole family loves!

Ingredients:

• 3 c (2 cans) tomatoes, pealed and diced
• 1 T bouillon
• 1/4 t garlic powder
• 1/4 t onion powder
• opt: dried or fresh basil to taste
• salt & pepper to taste

Directions:

1. In a blender pitcher, add all ingredients. Puree until smooth.
2. In a medium pan over medium heat, pour blender contents and bring soup to desired temperature. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with cheesy bread or cheese herb biscuits.
3. Leftovers make some lovely next-day dishes! 
1. Mix 1 c tomato soup with 2 c macaroni and cheese for a creamy tomato mac.
2. Use 1 c tomato soup as an enchilada sauce base, replacing the can of tomatoes.
3. Use 2 c as the tomato broth in our cheeseburger pasta.
