(Healthy) Creamy Tomato Soup

Ingredients:
  • 2 (14.5 oz) cans of low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth
  • 28 oz can of crushed tomatoes
  • 1 c cannellini beans (white Italian beans)
  • 1 c milk
  • several bay leaves
  • salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
  1. Combine broth, crushed tomatoes, and bay leaves in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Mash 1 cup of the cannellini beans with the back of a spoon and set aside.
  3. When the soup starts to bubble, pour in the milk and season with salt and pepper.  Reduce the heat.
  4. Simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Remove and throw away bay leaves and stir in mashed beans.
  6. Puree soup in a blender in small batches and return to the saucepan.

I got the recipe from when  I was playing on yahoo one day and saw they had an article on how to take your favorite comfort foods and make them healthier.  There was mac n cheese, mashed potatoes, etc.  I promise I'm not stealing- I just can't find the link!

How it tasted: TBD
