Soups On

There is just nothing better than a bowl of tomato soup and a grilled cheese sandwich. When I was a kid, this was my favorite weekend lunch. Of course, I was raised on Campbells tomato soup, but you have access to something much better! Smokin’ Mary Tomato Soup. Check out our Smokin’ Mary Bacon and Grilled Cheese Sandwich as a compliment, it’s worth it!

7 cups chicken broth
8 cups chopped tomatoes
6 peppers (your choice of variety) chopped
30 Basil leaves
1 stick of butter
1 cup half and half (or heavy cream)
2 cups Smokin’ Mary Mix
4 Tbsp flour (optional)
4 Tbsp milk (optional)
1 cup quinoa
1-2 Tbsp pepper flakes (depending on your desire)

Directions:

Put broth, tomatoes, peppers and basil into a stock pot. Cover and boil for 20-30 minutes.
