Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 30 ounces canned tomato sauce
- 3 cups vegetable broth or chicken broth
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Start by pouring the 30 ounces of canned tomato sauce into your medium pot. Add 3 cups of your chosen broth—vegetable or chicken—then sprinkle in ½ teaspoon each of onion powder and garlic powder. Give everything a good stir to mix the seasonings evenly.
- Place the pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Keep an eye on it to prevent boiling over, stirring occasionally.
- Once simmered for about 10 minutes, taste your soup and season with salt and pepper as needed.
- Reduce the heat to low and slowly stir in ¼ cup of heavy cream. Stir gently until the cream is fully incorporated.
- If you prefer a perfectly smooth texture, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a blender and pulse until silky. Return the blended soup to the pot to warm through before serving.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and pair with your favorite bread or a sandwich like the Rustic Tomato Fig Jam Grilled Cheese for a comforting meal.
