I took a little shortcut with this recipe and used a jar of pasta sauce for it. But I did go a little fancy and used a jar of the Delallo Pomodoro Fresco Creamy Vodka sauce. (Oh yes... I am shamelessly plugging my giveaway sponsor right now. ;) ) Making creamy tomato soup at home is beyond simple and easy on a budget. One spoonful of this "homemade" tomato soup and I doubt that you will ever pop open one of those red and white cans again.
What you will need:
2 tbsp of butter
1 tsp dried tarragon
1 jar of Delallo Creamy Vodka pasta sauce
1 cup of water
1/2 cup of half & half
Yep. That is it! Pretty simple, right?
In a medium sauce pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the tarragon and saute for just one minute. Pour in the jar of sauce, the water, and the half & half. Mix well. Cook over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes. And you are done! :)
*This recipe makes about 4 generous servings of soup.
So easy you really have no excuse not to try this recipe. I served our bowls of creamy tomato soup topped with a little parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of tarragon. And of course, there was a grilled cheese on the side. I mean, you really can't do tomato soup without the grilled cheese.
Jarred pasta sauces are not just for serving over pasta anymore. ;)
