I was totally in the mood for some comfort food the other night, and I remembered this recipe that I had come across on the internet somewhere along the line and I remembered thinking at the time that it sounded so delicious, but that nobody in my family liked tomato soup...so I tucked it away. I am much less tolerant these days of my family's dietary foibles, so I decided to make it in the interest of soothing my soul.
It worked.
I made a nice crusty, buttery jack cheese panini, and had a bowl of this positively blissful tomato-ish soup and suddenly the world was a brighter place.
This is a quick recipe, not one that needs to sit on the stove...but I have to say I ate some for lunch the next day and it was even more delicious after sitting.
6 Tablespoons Melted Butter
1 whole Medium Onion, Diced
1 bottle (46 Oz.) Garden Party Tomato Juice(Trader Joe's House brand)
1 lg can Petite-Diced or crushed Tomatoes(28 oz)
1 Tablespoon Chicken Base
3 Tablespoons Sugar
1 pinch Salt
Black Pepper To Taste

Sauté diced onions in butter until translucent. Then add canned tomatoes, tomato juice, chicken base, sugar, pinch of salt, black pepper and stir. Bring to a near boil, then turn off heat. Add in sherry and cream and stir. Add in parsley to taste. Ready to serve.
