PIONEER WOMAN - TOMATO SOUP WITH SHERRY

Steps:

• In a soup pot, saute diced onion in butter until translucent.
• Decide how chunky you like your tomato soup. I like to process one of the cans of tomatoes briefly in the food processor to chop up the tomatoes more finely. You can process one or both or neither.
• To the pot, add canned tomatoes, tomato juice, sugar, chicken base or bouillon, and pepper and stir.
• Bring to a near boil, then turn off heat.
• Add sherry and half-n-half or cream and stir.
• Add parsley and basil. (or, you can save the basil to sprinkle on top of each bowl of soup). Add salt & pepper if needed to your taste.
• Top with croutons if desired.
