Creamy Tomato-Basil soup

Ingredients:

  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) Hunt’s® Original Diced Tomatoes, undrained (I think next time I am going to blend or puree them)
  • 2 cans (10-3/4 ounces each) condensed tomato soup, undiluted
  • 1-1/2 cups milk (I only used 1/2 C)
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon dried basil (I added a few extra shakes)
  • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (I added two extra shakes)
  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, cubed

Directions:

  • In a large saucepan, saute onion in butter until tender. Stir in tomatoes, soup, milk, sugar, basil, paprika and garlic powder.(I added the milk after I simmered because Milk and I don't get along and my recipes always separate if I simmer or heat it whatsoever)
  • Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in cream cheese until melted. Serve immediately. Yield: 8 servings (2 quarts).

PS: I served it with garlic bread and they went together perfectly
