"Better Than Campbell's" Tomato Soup

Difficulty: easy

Time: 30 minutes

Serving: 4

Gluten Free option!

Ingredients:

9 oz of Muir Glen organic fire roasted tomato's 

1/2 c. Ground almonds OR you can use plain bread crumbs (not the italian, do not want flavor)

3 3/4 c. Chicken or vegetable stock

3 T. Butter

2/3 c. Heavy cream or milk

1 t. Sugar

Handful chopped fresh basil

Salt and pepper to taste

Blend almonds in food processor (I used a Vitamix) until finely ground, add tomato's, butter, sugar and 1/2 c. stock and blend until smooth.  Pour soup into a pot and put stove on low*.  Add the rest of the ingredients and cook on low until heated through.  Top with fresh basil and a grilled cheese sandwich on the side!

*Make sure to not have the stove any higher than a low setting or it will cause the milk to curdle.
