Quick Herb-Tomato Soup

• 1 (14.5 oz) can no-salt-added diced tomatoes, undrained
• 1/4 C roasted garlic hummus
• 1 tsp crushed dried rosemary
• 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning blend, crumbled
• 1/2 tsp pepper (coarsely ground preferred)
• 1 Tbsp snipped fresh parsley (optional)

1. In a small saucepan, stir together all the ingredients except the parsley. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Carefully pour into a blender and process until smooth (or remove from the heat and use an immersion, or handheld, blender).
2. Return to the pan. Heat over medium-low heat for 2 to 3 minutes, or until just simmering. Ladle into bowls. Garnish with the parsley.

Robyn's notes: this was far too strongly herb flavoured. If making this again, I'd actually halve the amount of all of the herbs. It was quite easy and quick, though. Shown with Grilled Triple Cheese Sandwiches.

** 2 Stars: Acceptable. At least one of us liked this enough for me to make it again, if I make changes
