Tomato Soup

Quick and easy tomato soup.

Saute 1 onion with a bay leaf.  Add 2 cans of whole tomatoes (good quality).  Cook for a minute and then remove from heat and mash-up.

Next add three slices of white bread (crust removed); cook for 5 minutes and then blend mixture.  Add olive oil, chicken broth and sherry (amounts to your taste).  Garnish with fresh basil.

This recipe was adapted from Jacques Pepin and takes less than 10 minutes to make.  Resist the urge to buy the Campbell's stuff and give this a try, it's worth the few minutes.
