Even if there's nothing in the fridge, you probably have everything you need in your pantry to have this soup on the table in about half an hour. And it is so good!
1 Tbs. olive oil
3 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 tsp. dried herbs (such as oregano, basil, marjoram, rosemary, thyme or a combination)
1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
1 15 oz. can no salt added diced tomatoes
2 15 oz. cans no salt added tomato sauce
2 tsp. sugar
1 c. vegetable broth (or substitute water)
1 12 oz. can low-fat evaporated milk (or substitute fresh milk)
salt/pepper to taste
1. In a large pot, heat olive oil over a medium-high flame. Add garlic, herbs and chili flakes and stir until the garlic no longer smells pungent, about 1 minute.
2. To the pot, add the diced tomatoes and their juice, the tomato sauce, sugar and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer 20 minutes.
3. Several minutes before serving, add evaporated milk and heat gently. Do not allow to boil. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
