Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 teaspoon olive oil
1 small onion (about 1/2 cup chopped)
1 teaspoon bottled minced garlic
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans chopped tomatoes seasoned with basil garlic & oregano
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 cup low-fat milk (or whole milk or half-and-half)
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
garlic-herb crouton, for garnish
snipped fresh herb, for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a 4 1/2 quart Dutch oven or soup pot over medium heat. Peel and finely chop the onion and add it to the pot. Stir and cook for 2 minutes. Meanwhile, open the tomato and sauce cans.
  • Add the garlic, and stir and cook for 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes with their juices and the tomato sauce. Raise the heat to high, and bring the soup to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the milk and parmesan cheese. Do not boil the soup after the milk has been added. Stir and cook for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and serve at once. Garnish with croutons and fresh snipped herbs.
  • NOTE: Use the Del Monte brand of diced tomatoes seasoned with basil, garlic and oregano. If you can't find the seasoned tomatoes, add 1/2 teaspoon each dried basil and dried oregano with plain diced tomatoes.
