This recipe uses tomato puree, tomato sauce and tomato paste for the base of the soup as well as whole milk and chicken broth. A lot of the flavor in this recipe comes from garlic and onion. A little bit of sugar is added for at ouch of sweetness. This soup is simple to prepare and I love eating it with a grilled cheese sandwich. Enjoy.
