3-CAN TOMATO VEGETABLE SOUP

Steps:

• Combine the olive oil, Italian seasoning, and onion powder in a medium saucepan over low heat. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally, until the spices infuse into the oil, about 5 minutes.
• Add the mixed vegetables, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a few grinds of black pepper. Increase the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until everything is well- coated, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Add the tomatoes with their juices, then fill the empty can halfway with water; swirl and add to the soup. Add one-third of the beans along with half their liquid. Simmer for 3 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mash the remaining beans and their liquid with a fork directly in the can until slightly smooth; stir into the soup. Add 2 tablespoons water to the empty can, scrape with a rubber spatula to release any mashed beans, then stir into the soup. Let simmer for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

MOLLIE KATZEN CREAM OF TOMATO SOUP I

Steps:

• In a saucepan or kettle, cook the onions and garlic in the butter with the salt until the onions are soft and translucent. Add the herbs and pepper, and sauté a few minutes more.
• Add tomatoes, sherry and honey. Cover and simmer 30-40 minute.
• (Note: the purpose of the honey in this recipe is to neutralize the acidity of the tomatoes.).
• Cut the cream cheese into small cubes and add these to the hot soup. Continue cooking and stir until smooth (the cheese will take a little while to melt thouroughly).
• If you prefer a creamy smooth soup, this recipe can be blended. Also, if it is too thick for you, more liquid can be added.
• Serve topped with freshly-chopped parsley.

Add dill and season with salt and pepper. Keep warm until ready to serve.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Line a baking sheet with wax paper and set aside.
