Tomato soup

Ingredients:

2 lbs of tomatoes, chopped.
1 large potato, cubed
2 tbsps sugar
salt (to taste)
pepper (to taste)
8-10 basil leaves
1 c broth (chicken, veggie)

Put tomatoes, potato, sugar, salt, pepper and basil in a large, heavy pot. 
Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer about 20 minutes. 
Add broth, stir and simmer until potatoes are soft.

Get out the immersion blender! (You knew it was going to make an appearance, didn't you?) 
Remove soup from heat, blenderize. 
Run a spoon around in the pot to be sure all the tomatoes and potato chunks are blended.

If your fat calories are low for the day, you can top the soup with a dollop of sour cream!

Otherwise, serve up soup with some crackers and enjoy! This recipe makes about 6 servings.
