Chunky Homemade Creamy Tomato Soup

• 1 cup celery, chopped with leafy tops
• 1/2 yellow onion, diced
• 1 red pepper, seeded and diced
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1 quart crushed tomatoes
• 2 knorr tomato bouillon with chicken bouillon cubes
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 cup whipping cream
• milk, to thin (if needed)
• mccormick worcestershire black pepper
• salt

1. Saute celery, onion and red pepper in butter till soft and slightly caramelized. Add crushed tomatoes and heat through.
2. Blend contents with a hand blender, or standard blender until it is the texture you want. We like ours a little chunky.
3. Take off the heat and add the whipping cream. If it is too thick add some milk until it is the consistency you want. We like ours thick and hearty.
4. Heat through and adjust the salt and pepper.
5. Note: If you don't have the McCormick's pepper, just add regular black pepper and a splash of Worcestershire sauce.
