Easy Garlic Tomato Soup (Ww)

Categories: Soup | Tomato | Garlic | Totry

Serves: 6 Servings

Ingredients:

3 tb Olive oil; extra virgin
3 lg Garlic; cloves, crushed or
;finely minced
2 tb Paprika
2 lb Tomato; fresh or canned,
;crushed or chopped
6 c Water; or 3 c water and 3
;cups chicken broth
Salt & pepper; to taste
Tabasco sauce; to taste
Butter
6 sl Bread, french
1/2 c Parmesan cheese; grated

Instructions:
Heat olive oil in a stew pot.

Saute garlic until oil is infused. Raise heat slightly, add paprika.
Saute until paprika just begins to sizzle. Add tomatoes (you can puree some
of them for a smoother soup), water or broth, and salt; simmer 20 minutes.
If using fresh tomatoes, add additional salt. Add a few dashes of black
pepper if you like.

Butter slices of bread liberally. Press one side of each piece into the
grated parmesan. Broil until toasty, watching to make sure the parmesan
doesn't crisp.

Reduce heat on the soup. Add a few dashes of Tabasco sauce--it's
generally three to five dashes in my house--and serve by placing one
crouton in each bowl and covering with soup.

Serves 6.
