Creamy Tomato Soup
Pureed white beans provide the creamy texture – you won’t miss the milk or cream.
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1/2 cup diced shallots or onion
1/4 tsp. dried red pepper flakes
1 can (15 oz.) Contadina® Tomato Sauce
1 can (14.5 oz.) Contadina® Diced Tomatoes, not drained
1 can (15 oz.) cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
1 can (14.5 oz.) College Inn® Fat Free & Lower Sodium Chicken Broth
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
Chopped fresh basil, optional
Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook shallots and red pepper flakes until softened, 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently.
Stir in remaining ingredients, except basil. Puree in saucepan with a hand-held immersion blender or puree in batches in a blender or food processor. Return to saucepan and heat through.
Top with fresh basil before serving, if desired.
