Creamy Tomato Soup

This was a busy, but productive Sunday for us. We got the house cleaned and partially decorated for Christmas. All of our chores that had been piling up are finally taken care of. Our credit cards are hot and Amazon stock is up. We're trying to do 100% of our Christmas shopping online this year so we don't have to fight the crowds. With all of this we still managed to come up with a tasty and incredibly simple soup. In searching for recipes we found that people seem to think tomato soup needs carrots, onions, and twenty other things. So we came up with our own recipe, paired it with grilled cheese, and had a great dinner.

Creamy Tomato Soup

2 28 oz cans diced tomatoes
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 tsp basil
1 tsp onion salt
1/2 tsp garlic salt
1/2 tsp black pepper

Blend one can of tomatoes and 3/4 cup whipping cream until tomatoes are broken down and no chunks are left. Pour the mixture into a large stock pot and repeat for the other can of tomatoes and remaining whipping cream. Stir in seasonings and simmer for an hour, stirring occasionally. Serve with grilled cheese.
