recipe: quick tomato bisque

for years (seriously, years!) i have been working on the perfect all-vegetarian tomato bisque soup. my dad (a professional chef) makes an incredible soup, and even though i have his recipes, it just isn't right. i can make a delicious soup entirely from scratch- starting even with a roux. it's good- but not easy. yesterday, i wanted tomato bisque, but i also wanted to be lazy. and i only wanted to make it in my crockpot because i didn't want to scrub pots. it may shame my father, but it tastes damn good and was dirt cheap.

for your (horrifying!) pleasure:

-1 large can of whole peeled tomatoes (do not drain!)
-1 large can of tomato soup
-1/2 jar of classico vodka sauce*

(shameful) instructions:
dump all ingredients in crockpot. cook on high for 4 hours or low until you get home from work. just before serving, crush tomatoes using a masher, or large fork.

top with a dollop of sour cream (daisy is all natural/vegetarian) and french's fried onions**
