One of my favorite lunches begin with tomato soup! Some foods transform us to another place and time :
Foods are like that with me, they remind me of different places and times. From my childhood, I look fondly on my favorite lunch whether home or a friends … egg salad sandwich and tomato soup!
Ingredients:
2 cans diced or cut tomatoes
1 can chicken broth
2 cans tomato sauce
1 stick butter
1 tablespoon mixture of salt, pepper and garlic powder
1 cup dried and chopped sweet basil
1 cup heavy whipping cream
Process
1) use a blender to chop tomatoes… but not to the point of a puree
2) add tomatoes, tomato sauce and chicken stock into a large pan or pot under low to medium heat and stir and reduce to slightly thicken
3) add cream, butter, seasonings, a squirt or two of lemon juice and Basil … continue stirring until completely blended and bubbling
Serve with egg salad sandwich!
Bon appetite!
