Pioneer Woman - Tomato Soup With Sherry image

This is my favorite recipe adapted from the Pioneer Woman. A decadent lunch! I tweaked it a little from her original: I reduced the sodium and fat by reducing the chicken base and butter, and changing the heavy cream to half-n-half. And I thought way more fresh basil was needed to make it taste spectacular.

Time 25m

Yield 12 cups, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 tablespoons melted butter
1 medium onion, diced
1 (46 ounce) can tomato juice
2 (14 ounce) cans diced tomatoes
1 tablespoon chicken base or 1 tablespoon chicken bouillon
3 tablespoons sugar
1 cup cooking sherry
1 1/2 cups half-and-half or 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
2 teaspoons dried parsley flakes
pepper
crouton (optional)

Steps:

  • In a soup pot, saute diced onion in butter until translucent.
  • Decide how chunky you like your tomato soup. I like to process one of the cans of tomatoes briefly in the food processor to chop up the tomatoes more finely. You can process one or both or neither.
  • To the pot, add canned tomatoes, tomato juice, sugar, chicken base or bouillon, and pepper and stir.
  • Bring to a near boil, then turn off heat.
  • Add sherry and half-n-half or cream and stir.
  • Add parsley and basil. (or, you can save the basil to sprinkle on top of each bowl of soup). Add salt & pepper if needed to your taste.
  • Top with croutons if desired.
