Creamy Tomato Soup - 6/4/2011

The first entry in my "I can make it better" contest.  I had the Cream of Sun Ripened Tomatoes my first evening on board the Carnival Dream, and while it was very good, mine is frankly better.  Do not be put off by the ingredients - the recipe works really well. 

Creamy Tomato Soup

In a large pot:

2 large onions, chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped

Season with kosher salt, black pepper, and a little sugar

Saute in a combination of butter and olive oil until soft and a little caramelized.  Then add:

1-14.5 oz. can well-drained petite diced tomatoes and cook with the onions until soft.

Cover with:

Chicken Stock

Simmer together

Then add:

1 jar Bertolli Spicy Marinara Sauce
1 jar Classico Vodka Sauce

Simmer everything together while seasoning to your liking.  Add more stock if too thick.  At end, lower heat and stir in:

Heavy cream or half and half to taste.
