Creamy Tomato Soup

My mom makes a soup similar to this and everyone loves it. So today I played around in the kitchen and came up with a pretty good soup. I hope you all enjoy it.

Ingredients

2 cans of whole tomatoes
1 small can of tomato paste
1 onion chopped
1 cup of spinach
1 cup of heavy cream
1 tsp Epicure's Paris Bistro
1 pinch of garlic
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 Tbsp Butter
*add coarsely chopped fresh basil if you like in stead of spinach however reduce the amount to 1/4 cup

In a large pot,  melt butter and fry onions until translucent. Remove the tomatoes from the can, and chop in a food processor, as chunky or not as you'd like. Pour the tomato juice into the pot, let cook for maybe a minute or two. Add the tomatoes and seasoning. Let simmer. Add the tomato paste, stirring it in until smooth. Add your heavy cream at this point and your spinach. Season with salt and pepper.
As Always,
Happy Eating!
