5 Ingredient Tomato Soup

Ingredients

• 2 cans Whole Plum or San Marzano Tomatoes
• 4 Tbsp salted butter
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups Progressoâ"¢ Chicken Stock
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, optional
• 1/3 cup heavy cream, optional

Directions

1. Set a large pot over medium heat and melt the butter. While it warms, pour the canned tomatoes and their juices into a blender and puree until smooth, or stop with a few small chunks if you like more texture.
2. Add the garlic to the pot and cook for 30 seconds, then pour in the tomatoes and chicken stock. Bring the soup to a gentle bubble.
3. Lower the heat and let the soup simmer for 10 minutes.
4. Stir in half of the basil, then season with salt and pepper if you’d like.
5. Pour the soup into bowls, drizzle each serving with cream if using, and finish with the remaining basil. Serve warm.
