Mom's Tomato soup

 
                                                         Mom's Tomato soup

 
My mother used to make this beautiful tomato soup for me anytime I wanted it. I believe my mother got this recipe from my Aunt Phillis.  The good thing about this recipe is that you probably have everything in your kitchen to make it. It also is a fast and easy it only takes me 20 min to make the soup. The recipe I do have is to make 2 quarts , but I only made 1 quart today because I will be the only one having it since my boyfriend is out of town on his bike trip.  At the bottom I also put the  healthy version .
 
Ingredients
Makes 2 quarts
1 Medium onion chopped
2 tablespoons butter
2 cans diced tomatoes (14/12 ounce)
2 cans of condensed tomato soup undiluted (10 ¾ ounce)
1 ½ cups of milk
1 teaspoon sugar
½ or 1 teaspoon dried basil
½ or 1 teaspoon paprika
1/8/ or ¼ garlic powder
1 package of cream cheese 8 oz.
1.)In a large saucepan sauté onion and butter until tender. Stir in tomatoes soup milk sugar basil paprika and garlic powder.
2.)Bring to a boil reduce heat cover and simmer for 10 min stir in cream cheese until melted
 Healthy version
Use margarine
No salt added tomatoes
Reduced fat condensed tomato soup
Fat free milk
Fat reduced fat free cream cheese
Truvia sugar
 
 
 
 
First chop an medium size onion.
 
 
Melt butter in a pan on medium heat.
 
After butter is melted add onions and cook on medium heat until onions are translucent . Which should take about 5 to 7 min.
 
While the onions are cooking open you cans of diced tomatoes and tomato soup.
put in a small bowl sugar, dried basil, paprika, and garlic powder. Also if would enjoy some spice add cayenne pepper.
The measure your milk. Remember I made 1 quart so you will need 1 1/2 cups.
 
After onions are done stir in tomatoes soup milk sugar basil paprika and garlic powder. Let soup come to a boil then turn flam down cover and simmer for 10 min.
I like to cut up my cream cheese it makes it easy to break up in the soup.
After 10 min whisk in cream cheese in to the soup. 
Then now serve :)
