Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 TBSP olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 2 tsp dried basil
  • ½ tsp dried oregano
  • ¼-½ tsp red pepper flakes, optional
  • 3 15oz cans tomato sauce
  • 1 quart (4 cups) chicken bone broth or stock
  • ½ cup whole milk, half & half, or cream (Increase amount if you like yours extra creamy. I like mine subtly creamy.)
  • salt and pepper, to taste (I add about 1 - 1½ tsp salt)

Method
 

  1. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat.
  2. Once shimmering, add garlic, basil, oregano, and red pepper (if using). Cook for about 30-60 seconds until fragrant, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
  3. Add tomato sauce and broth/stock. Stir well to combine.
  4. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes longer.
  5. Add the milk/cream and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

Is excellent served alongside grilled sandwiches and fresh fruit.
