Easy Homemade Tomato Soup

One day I had a craving for grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup so I went to the cupboards to reach for my trusty can of Campbell's where I discovered we were completely out. So I decided to experiment with what I had in the cupboards. I grabbed a can of diced tomatoes and 10 minutes later, my husband and I were enjoying a warm homemade lunch. 
 We had this as an appetizer for our Valentine's Day dinner
Homemade Tomato Soup
1 garlic clove, sauteed in olive oil until golden brown, about 2 min.
1 can diced tomatoes
1/2 tsp. Italian seasonings
3 fresh basil leaves or 1/2 tsp dried basil
2 Tbs. sour cream
1/2 tsp. salt
Pepper to taste

Pulse ingredients together in food processor until smooth. Warm in sauce pan over medium heat and serve with grilled cheese sandwiches or garlic bread.


Note: I made the heart out of sour cream. I put about a tablespoon of sour cream in a plastic baggie, cut the tip and squeezed it out in the shape of a heart.
