Tomato Basil Vegetable soup - EASY!

Tomato Basil Vegetable soup - EASY! Yesterday I was busy. I went to a picnic, went for a bike ride, and I was on a ladder in the late afternoon and early evening, I worked until dark, painting the outside of the house. I did not have time to cook. Since I wasn't too hungry from the afternoon picnic, I only wanted something light, and quick because it was now 7:15pm. So for dinner, I grabbed a can of Progresso Tomato Basil soup from the cabinet. This one can made 3 decent serving sizes or 4 smaller servings. I heated a 2 quart pot, put in some olive oil or EVOO and canola oil. I put in the pot, finely diced 2 stalks of celery, slitting it lengthwise in 3 parts then cross cutting, same for 2 carrots, 1/2 onion, 2 Tb garlic. Stirred, let it sit for a few minutes cooking, then added the can of Progresso Tomato Basil soup, plus one can of water, and 1/2 cup of elbow macaroni. This made a very chunky soup. If you want to extend it further, add another 1/4 can or 1/2 can of water. I added no other spices. The soup will be done when the macaroni is done, the celery and carrots will be tender but not soft. Otherwise, delay adding the macaroni for a few minutes while the carrots and celery have time to soften more, then add the elbow macaroni. For serving, sprinkle on some dried, powdered, parm romano cheese. |
