Paradise Bakery Tomato Soup (another recipe)

(as found, non-vegetarian)

Ingredients:

• 1 medium onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 T olive oil
• 8 oz can tomato sauce
• 6 oz can tomato paste
• 28 oz can whole tomatoes
• 2 14 oz cans fire roasted diced tomatoes
• 2 cups water
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
• 1/4 cup parmesan cheese

1. In a large pot, add olive oil and saute the onion until it is almost clear.  Add the garlic and continue to cook for a few more minutes.
2. Add tomatoes, sauce, paste, water, and chicken broth.  Bring to a boil, cover and let it simmer for about 30 minutes.
3.  In a blender or food processor puree the mixture until it gets to your desired consistency.  I like mine a little bit chunky just like Paradise Bakery.  Yum
4. Add the heavy cream, parmesan cheese, salt and pepper.
5. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes and serve!

Yield about 8 cups
