Millie's Chunky Tomato Soup

Out of all the soups I have created in the past, this soup was and will always be my favorite. This homemade chunky tomato soup came out so good that my son and I had to have seconds.

 This soup is super filling and you will not be hungry again for at least 5 to 6 hours.

Here is my recipe:

(1) 16 bean blended bag of beans by Goya
 (boil well until thoroughly cooked)

(1) 28 ounce can of diced tomatoes

1/2 tsp. black pepper

1 T. dried chopped onion

1 tsp. Tabasco sauce

1 T. garlic powder

1/4 tsp. kosher salt

1 T. olive oil

6 garlic cloves (minced well)

5 cilantro sprigs (chopped finely)

3 envelopes of Jamon (artificial ham flavoring)

1/2 tsp. dried basil

1/2 can of tomato sauce

In a large or medium size cooking pot mix in all ingredients, then boil the soup until soup creates a nice sauce.  Always check to see if more salt or additional spices may be needed to savor your desires.  Serve with your favorite toasted bread smeared with some butter or grilled cheese. I am still savoring this soup and I ate the last bowl of it today for lunch. I did the happy dance...oh yeah!
