creamy tomato soup

this is a recipe from nate's cousin who we stay(ed) with in chicago. her cooking is actually the reason i want to move there.



1/2 red onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 can diced tomatoes
2 cans chicken broth (about 4 cups)
15-oz. can tomato sauce
1 c. heavy cream (light tastes good too)
1/2 c. chopped fresh parsley (i used dried)
fresh parmesan cheese (or kraft is fine)

saute onions and garlic. add broth, tomatoes and sauce. boil and add cream, then simmer for 15 minutes. top with cheese and parsley.
