It might be a soup day!

Tomato Soup

Saute together:

1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 small red onion, chopped
1 small carrot, chopped

Then add:
4 lbs canned tomatoes
(two 28 oz cans & one 14 oz can)
3 cup chicken stock (not broth)
1 tsp basil
½ tap thyme
1 bay leaf

Simmer the above together for 45 minutes.
Remove bay leaf and blend.
After blending, add 1 ½ cup bread crumbs,
( I use the Progesso bread crumbs Italian style)
1 cup cream, salt & pepper to taste.
