Ingredients

Canned Tomatoes

  • 2-4 cloves garlic (Minced (Adjust to taste.))

  • 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth (Use low-sodium broth if preferred.)

Cream or Coconut Milk

  • to taste salt and black pepper (Freshly ground.)

Herbs

  • Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  • Pour in the canned tomatoes and broth, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
