Who here didn't cherish this simple dish as a child? Back then it was Campbell's and Bunny bread with American cheese. Well here is my take on this classic...
46oz can of tomato juice
28oz can petite diced tomatoes
1 Vidalia onion, diced
3/4 stick unsalted butter
1/4 cup sugar
3 chicken bouillon cubes, crushed
1-1/2 cups heavy cream
1-2 teaspoons coarsely ground pepper
1-1/2 Tbsp dried basil
1-1/2 Tbsp dried parsley
In a large pot melt butter and saute onions until translucent. Add tomato juice, diced tomatoes, sugar, crushed bouillon cubes and pepper. Mix well. Test the acidity and add more sugar 1 Tbsp at a time if needed. Bring to just boiling. Kill the heat and add parsley, basil and cream. Mix and serve.
I made mine with a brie and swiss grilled cheese sandwich on sourdough bread. I like using Land O' Lakes garlic and herb spread to butter the bread. I also cook mine on a lower heat setting so the cheese gets really gooey.
Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures as I was too busy stuffing my face.
