Creamy Tomato Soup

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
  • 1 cup chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half for lighter)
  • 2–3 tsp Johnny’s Salad & Pasta Elegance
  • ½ tsp sugar (optional, to balance acidity)
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil or parsley for topping
  • Croutons
  • Johnny’s Seasoned Pepper (optional)

Directions

  1. Melt butter in a pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook 3–4 minutes until soft. Stir in minced garlic and cook 30 seconds.

  2. Pour in crushed tomatoes and broth. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer.

  3. Add Johnny’s Salad & Pasta Elegance, sugar (if using), salt, and pepper. Let the soup simmer for 5–7 minutes so flavors blend.

  4. Reduce the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Let simmer another 2–3 minutes until silky and smooth.

  5. For super-smooth soup, blend with an immersion blender. For a rustic texture, leave it chunky.

  6. Ladle into bowls and top with fresh herbs and croutons. Add a pinch of Johnny’s Seasoned Pepper on top to garnish.
