🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Introduce the ingredients: 2 cans of crushed tomatoes, 1 can of whole tomatoes, garlic, yellow onion, celery, paprika, heavy whipping cream, butter, fresh basil, fresh oregano, sugar, chicken broth, Pepper Jack cheese, and Parmesan cheese.

Chop all vegetables finely, especially the onion and celery, to avoid chunky soup.

Melt butter in a heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Add the chopped vegetables (onion, celery) to the pot and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

Add minced garlic to the pot and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Add the two cans of crushed tomatoes and one can of whole tomatoes to the pot, crushing the whole tomatoes as you add them.

If the mixture is too thick, add chicken broth or water to reach desired consistency.

Season with a little salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to taste.

Add a tablespoon of sugar to cut the acidity of the tomatoes, adjusting to taste later.

Stir in a little paprika for flavor.

Let the soup simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more sugar if needed.

Add fresh basil and heavy cream to the soup, stirring to combine and letting it cook for another 20 minutes.

Add grated Parmesan cheese to the soup and stir until melted and combined.
