Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 30 ounces canned tomato sauce
  • 3 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth)
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Set a 4 quart sauce pot over medium-high heat and pour in the canned tomato sauce, vegetable broth, onion powder, and garlic powder. Stir the mixture well to incorporate all the flavors.
  2. Simmer the Soup: Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes. This process helps to reduce and thicken the soup while allowing the flavors to meld. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  3. Add Cream and Season: Turn off the heat and stir in the heavy cream to enrich the soup with a creamy texture. Taste the soup, then season with salt and pepper as needed. For extra creaminess, add a splash more heavy cream if desired. Serve the soup warm for the best experience.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use chicken broth instead of vegetable broth.
  • Adjust the cream quantity depending on your preferred soup consistency and creaminess.
  • To make the soup smoother, you can blend it with an immersion blender before adding the cream.
  • Serve with crusty bread or grilled cheese for a complete meal.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
