Easy Delicious Tomato Basil Soup - 30 minutes

Momma Katie memories: This is a new item for Leo and I.  We were trying to come up with some soups we could make in large amounts and freeze for winter.  I just love this simple recipe.

   

Ingredients:

1 (24oz) jar marinara sauce (I use one that has simple ingredients and no added sugar

1 (14oz) can Italian diced tomatoes

1 1/2 cups chicken stock

1 tsp oregano

1 tsp dried basil

3/4 tsp black pepper

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1 handful basil, chopped

1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese, plus more for topping

1 cup heavy cream

I usually double this so I can make some to freeze.

In a large sauce pan, combine marinara sauce, diced tomatoes, chicken stock, oregano, dried basil, pepper, salt, and garlic powder over medium-high heat.  Bring to a low boil, then reduce heat to medium-low.

Stir in heavy cream, grated parmesan, and chopped fresh basil.  Stir until smooth and cheese is melted.  Allow to cook over low heat for 5 - 10 minutes to allow flavors to blend.  Taste and adjust seasonings.
