a good quick soup i like to make is a creamy tomato basil. i start off with 2 number 10 cans of tomato puree 2 cans of crushed tomatoes a couple pints of cherry tomatoes 4-5 quarts of heavy cream, salt pepper, sugar, and fresh basil. first dump all the puree into a pot with the heavy cream, salt pepper, and sugar. while thats cooking i put the crushed tomatoes into a robo coupe and puree. add that to the pot and puree the cherry tomatoes really fine and add. (this makes it taste like it was made with all fresh tomatoes) let it cook and before you take it off the stove finely chop the fresh basil and add. it might take you 1/2 hour if that to make but it's really good.
