This classic favorite is paired with a grilled cheese sandwich, of course!

Serves 6-8
 
Ingredients: 
1TB olive oil
1TB butter or vegan margarine
1 small/medium yellow onion, diced
4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
2-3 stalks of celery (can include leaves) diced
2 tsp salt
¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
1 TB Italian seasoning
1 TB sugar (white or brown)
½ cup water
4 cups tomato juice
2 cups diced fresh tomatoes, or 1 14.5 oz can
Fresh basil 3-5 large leaves, chopped
1 ½ cup of half & half, (coconut milk or soy milk to keep it vegan)

Directions:
1. In a medium-sized stockpot or soup pot, melt oil and butter/margarine on medium heat. Add onions, garlic and celery. Cover, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes. 
2. Add salt, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes and saute for another 3-4 minutes. 
3. Add water, canned tomato, tomato juice and sugar. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from heat.
