Tomato Florentine Soup

Its a dreary rainy day in Ohio

When looking in the fridge
I had a hodge podge of ingredients

So I decided to make


Tomato Soup Florentine


chopped up tomato
chopped up basil
minced garlic
1 can crushed tomatoes
1 c of broth ( veggie)
spinach
Greek Yogurt (if you want it creamy)

I mixed the chopped tomato,


chopped basil


minced garlic, crushed tomatoes
 and broth and pureed half of it until smooth


I took the pureed mix and added it to the
other half and spinach in a crock pot


and let it cook all day
 abt 1/2 hr before eating
I added 1 C of Greek Yogurt 
to make it creamier

If you don't like spinach
you don't need to add it
and if you rather it more smooth 
than chunky puree 
all of the mix
