I'd use 1 cup (minus 1 tablespoon) of really "good" apple cider; the unfiltered stuff found in the produce section and then 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar.

I work a night job on Mondays so I have no time between my day and my evening jobs for cooking, so the crock pot is my answer. Usually the only vegetarian options I can find are chile and vegetable soup, but you have so many choices here. Hooray! In the interest of my diet, I only added 1 cup of cream and it was still deliciousAnneKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00458386697809187979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090591139439935093.post-84267747550492762992012-01-25T03:39:00.692-08:002012-01-25T03:39:00.692-08:00I have an ongoing tomato soup obsession, too.

SO. GOOD. Ohmygosh. I wasn't too sure at first b/c it seemed like a lot of sherry and going in it looked more like salsa, but I'm glad I had faith! A few hours and some blender-ing later and it is divine! Reminiscent of the creamy tomato soup at BJ's Restaurant, but less salty- perfect!

Pretty good! Not quite restaurant quality but almost. To save time I used canned whole tomatoes as suggested by another comment; chopped them in my food processor. Also didn't realize I was out of onion so I used garlic powder. Served with a grilled ham and swiss sandwich with fresh basil and a parmesan mayo spread. Yummy!
