I got this recipe from my Oklahoma girl! Her mom found it in a Paula Deen cookbook and you know anything Paula makes is amazing! Hope y’all enjoy it on a rainy day!
Ingredients:
2 Tbsp butter ( or extra virgin olive oil)
2 cups chopped yellow onion ( about 2 onions)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tbsp tomato paste
2 (28 oz) cans whole plum tomatoes, undrained
4 cups chicken broth
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1 Tbsp chopped fresh basil
1 Tbsp chopped fresh oregano
1 cup heavy whipping cream
Croutons
In a large pot, melt butter or olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, cook for 10 minutes. Stir often. Add tomato paste, cook for 1 minute. Add plum tomatoes, chicken broth, salt & pepper, basil, oregano. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Stir occasionally for about 30 minutes or until tomatoes begin to break down. Transfer soup, in batches, to a blender and process until smooth. Add processed batches to a new large pot. Stir in cream and warm if needed. Top with croutons and fresh basil.
Don’t forget to add love, it makes all the difference!
