Ingredients

  • l large onion diced

  • Olive oil

  • In a large soup kettle saute onion in olive oil until almost translucent.
  • Add garlic and continue to saute a few minutes more. Add tomatoes, sauce and paste - along with water.

  • Puree in blender until desired consistency.
  • We put tortilla strips and a dab of sour cream on top!
