Clean Tomato Soup

This soup is loved by my husband the health nut and even by my picky little brother (unless its coated with sugar crack he wont eat it). Even little Spaz who eats less than a bird loved it. But he mainly wanted the "cream" of the soup rather than the tomatoes. Keep in mind it taste clean. Its more of a light sour/real tomato taste BUT its delish and not bad on the waste!

32oz can of whole tomatoes drained
1 C Tomato juice or organic tomato soup
28oz can of diced tomatoes not drained
1 C milk or cream (cream will make it creamier of course but for a healthy route, go with 1% milk)
1/2 stick of butter
2 tsp salt
1 Tbs sugar

Bring the cans of tomatoes and salt to a boil then reduce heat for 10 mins. Make sure to stir often to prevent burning- I learned this the hard way with chili. Gross... 

After 10 minutes puree the mixture or for a chunkier effect (thats what I have), transfer mixture into a bowl and mix with an electric mixer like your whipping up some cookies!

Transfer the mix back into pan. Over medium heat stir in milk, butter, sugar, and tomato juice. Stir until completely mixed

We like to eat this with grown up grilled cheese. Its just mountain bread, garlic butter spread, and multiple cheeses. Yum!! 

Spaz tested and approved!
