tomato soup

i made the best tomato soup ever about a week ago. I think it may have been the best batch i have ever made! I decided to share the recipe with all of you:

1 12.oz can of diced or crushed tomatoes
1 12.oz can of chicken or vegetable broth
a couple of pinches of oregano or a couple of whole bay leaves
salt and pepper

put the tomatoes and broth in a pot with the spices; bring to a boil and then simmer for 20 to 30 minuets; if you used bay leaves remove them now; let the soup cool down a little and then put in the blender ( in batch's if you have a lot ) and blend until smooth. I have a hand held immersion blender this make it easier because i can blend it right in the pot, if you don't feel like blending it you can leave it chunky it is good that way too.

This makes about 2 or 3 servings you can make a bigger batch if you want as long as you have equal parts tomato and broth just get a bigger can of each.

well that is my soup it is pretty easy to make and really hard to ruin.
