Instructions
STEP ONE:
Saute onion in olive oil over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add garlic and oregano, salt & pepper. Saute an additional 2 minutes.
STEP TWO:
Add tomatoes, stock, herbs and season. Bring up to a simmer. Cover and let simmer for 20 minutes.
STEP THREE:
Stir, then add the milk. Taste, re-season and serve with shaved parmesan and fresh basil on top.
SERVING SUGGESTION:
Since we all agree that grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup should not be separated, that is my serving suggestion. My only recommendation is to seek out a whole grain bread that has no preservatives, additives or other yucky oils or sugars.
I love Ezekiel bread. Also, my local health food store offers whole grain lavash rounds. I toast them with olive oil and sprinkle cheddar cheese on top. Slice into triangles and these are an excellent alternative to the traditional grilled cheese sandwich!
