Snow day soup - Creamy sherried tomato soup

Or cold rain.  Or sun.  Or whatever weather really, because it is THAT good.  I have to thank Elaine for finding this recipe...I have stolen it for my stomach and for this blog.

Ingredients:
6 tbsp butter
1 cup chopped onion
46 oz. tomato juice
28 oz diced tomato
1.5 tbsp chicken base (you can find this next to the chicken boullion in the grocery store)
5 tbsp. sugar
salt and pepper to taste
1 cup cooking sherry (you can find this next to the vinegar in the grocery store)
1.5 cups of heavy whipping cream
parsley to taste
basil to taste

Step 1:  Melt the butter in a large pot, and throw in the chopped onion.  Simmer over medium heat until the onions are transluscent.


Step 2:  Add the juice, tomatoes, chicken base, sugar, salt, and peper.  Stir, cover, and heat until it almost reaches a boil.


Step 3:  Chase the hound dog out of the pantry.


Step four:  Add the sherry and the cream.


Stir and bring to a simmer.  Add basil and parsley to taste and serve.  Thank me later, because this stuff is AMAZING.
