Homemade Tomato Soup

With the weather having a hard time making up its mind, my family and I are stuck in soup mode. We just cannot seem to get enough! I used to buy tomato soup in the can until I came across a recipe to make that is Homemade Tomato Soup. Super simple and delicious, this one will have your family drooling for days! I serve it with homemade crusty bread croutons on top.

• 2 Tablespoons olive oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 8 cups of chicken broth or stock
• 2- 28 ounce cans of  crushed tomatoes
• ¼ cup shredded parmesan cheese, this is the real stuff, not the stuff from a can
• ¼ cup asiago cheese, shredded or use an Italian cheese blend
• ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
• pepper

In a large pot heat olive oil. Add the onion, stirring often until lightly caramelized.
Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.
Add broth, tomatoes, and parmesan cheese and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Carefully puree the mixture with an immersion blender.
Return to heat and add asiago cheese and stir until melted.
Salt and pepper to taste.
