Easy Cream of Tomato Soup

 This is a super quick soup to make that tastes way better than any canned store brand!

Ingredients:

• 2 28 oz cans of Cento Crushed Tomatoes or Tomato Puree (my grocery store only carries the crushed)
• 4 cups unsalted chicken stock
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 teaspoons granulated garlic
• 2 teaspoons granulated onion
• 2 teaspoons paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda (helps cut through the acidity of the tomatoes)
• 1 cup heavy cream

Whisk together the tomatoes, chicken stock, and seasonings in a large stock pot.

Bring to a boil, and then lower heat. Simmer covered for 20 minutes. 

Whisk in the baking soda. The soup will bubble up and fizz for a few seconds. Add the heavy cream and stir to combine until heated through.
