Two-Can Ten-Minute Homemade Tomato Soup ♥ Quick Recipe

Today's easy homemade soup recipe: Tomato soup made from scratch in just ten minutes. No "weird" ingredients like canned tomato soup and lower in calories, too.

So I suspect that purists won't consider this homemade soup. After all, I didn't till the soil to grow the tomatoes and I certainly didn't toil over a hot stove canning summer tomatoes, all to toss together an easy, steaming bowl of tomato soup during the cold and damp of a Midwestern winter.

But here's why for me, Two-Can Ten-Minute Homemade Tomato Soup not only qualifies, it rocks. Let's look at the ingredient lists.

Diced Tomatoes: Tomatoes.*
Tomato Sauce: Tomato Concentrate, Salt, Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, Citric Acid, Natural Flavors, Dried Bell Pepper.*
* Caveat: It took careful examination of several labels to find diced tomatoes and tomato sauce without sugar.

versus

Campbell's Condensed Tomato Soup (Australia**): Tomato Puree, Sugar, Onions, Modified Tapioca Starch, Salt, Garlic, Acidity Regulator, Natural Flavors, Xanthum Gum, Natural Food Color, Herbs, Spices.
Campbell's Condensed Tomato Soup (United States**): Tomato Puree, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Wheat Flour, Water, Salt, Potassium Chloride, Flavoring, Citric Acid, Sea Salt, Ascorbic Acid, Monopotassium Phosphate.
** Fascinating, the difference in the ingredient lists between canned tomato soup in Australia and canned tomato soup in the U.S. Are the soups actually different or do the labels reflect differences in labeling laws?

Besides, did I mention it takes just ten minutes to make this soup? That's start-to-finish, with plenty of hands-off time to make grilled cheese sandwiches. Yahoo, lunch!

Red Velvet Crinkle Cookies

Recently I had my first experience with a red velvet cookie at a restaurant.  I was instantly hooked and had to try to recreate them.  They turned out fabulous and my coworkers said they were better than the ones we had bought!  They are a little messy to make, but oh so worth it!!

Red Velvet Crinkle Cookies
adapted just a bit from Duncan Hines
6 Tablespoons butter
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
1 box Red Velvet Cake Mix
2 eggs
1/2 -1 cup white chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 375°F. Melt butter; set aside to cool. Place powdered sugar and cornstarch in shallow dish. Mix with a fork to blend.
Place cake mix, cooled butter and eggs in a large mixing bowl. Mix by hand until well blended and a dough forms. (*Mixing by hand is the key to this recipe!)
Form dough into 1-inch balls and roll in powdered sugar. Place on a lightly greased baking sheet about 2 inches apart.

Bake, 1 sheet at a time, in center of oven for 9 to 11 minutes or until set. Cool 1 minute.

Delicious! You would never guess it was a cake mix base!

*The original recipe calls for 1 cup powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon cornstarch.  I doubled the recipe and didn't use all of it.

Beautiful and delicious!! HUGE hit with everyone!

Chicken Tostadas

This was fairly quick to make and delicious.  A big hit with all the family members.  I allowed each of them to add their own toppings to the chicken and cheese mixture.  I will be making these again soon.

Chicken Tosadas

8-10 small corn tortillas
2 Tablespoons olive oil (you may need more or less)
2 cup grated cheddar cheese
3/4 cup onion, diced small
1 teaspoon chili powder
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups cooked chicken, torn or shredded
 salt and ground pepper
1 Tablespoon. plus 2 teaspoons lime juice
1 head romaine lettuce, shredded
1-2 tomatoes,  chopped
1-2  avocado, halved, pitted, peeled, diced small
fresh cilantro, for serving (optional)

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Lightly brush both sides of tortillas with olive oil and place on a rimmed baking sheet. 

Bake until golden and crisp, about 10 minutes. 

In a large skillet, heat 1 teaspoon oil over medium-high. Add half the onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add chili powder and garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add chicken and 1/4 cup water and season with salt/pepper. Cook stirring frequently, until chicken is warmed though and water is almost evaporated, 2 minutes. Stir in 2 teaspoons lime juice and remove from heat.

In a large bowl, combine lettuce and 1 Tablespoon lime juice, season with salt/pepper. Toss well to coat.

 Divide cheese and chicken mixture among tortillas and return to oven. 

Bake until cheese is bubbling, about 3 minutes. 

 Top each tortilla with lettuce, tomato, avocado, remaining onion and cilantro if desired.

I like to serve with sour cream and salsa.

DELICIOUS!!
