I haven't written a homecooking foodblog in a while. I don't have pretty pictures today but I do have a really simple recipe that turned into an absolutely fantastic quick dinner.
Tomato Basil Soup
1 14.5 oz can chicken broth
2 14.5-oz cans crushed tomatoes
1 tsp sugar
1 stem's worth of fresh basil, finely chopped
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup butter
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
Bring chicken broth, crushed tomatoes, and crushed red pepper to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer about 10 minutes. Add the rest of the ingredients and remove from heat. Stir until butter melts.
Serves 4-6
We also had crab cakes from Trader Joe's. Total time spent on dinner: 20 minutes.
Thanks so much for this recipe. I think it sounds like a great one for cold winter days, which we've been getting plenty of lately. I'm always in search of quick recipes that don't require fussy ingredients, and this one fits the bill perfectly.
