I used 6 large tomatoes and threw them into my crockpot with 

2 tbsp buttera few bay leavessaltpepperdried basiland garlic powder. 

I  then added 2 cups of chicken broth and set my crockpot on LOW for 6 hours. 

After 6 or so hours, the tomatoes will be soft and falling apart. I took a fork to them and mashed them up. 

Then I used my awesome hand-blenderto smooth things out even more. If you don't have a hand-blender, a normal blender or mixer will work just fine. Just be very careful, the soup is SO hot! 

Finally, I added1 cup of heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese to my soup. 

Serve up and enjoy with a grilled cheese sandwich! 

This recipe makes a TON of soup, 

so I would recommend freezing your leftovers 

in this nifty way that I saw on Pinterest. ^^ 

Happy Tomato Souping!
