Almost homemade tomato soup

tomatoes, cut in half and then half again

onion, diced

celery, 1 inch pieces

3 Tblsp butter

salt

sugar

cornstarch

oregano

1 can Campbells tomato soup

cilantro

Boil tomatoes, onion and celery until tender. Blend in blender. Strain mixture removing seeds and skins. Place mixture back in pot. Add butter, salt and sugar. Mix cornstarch with water to make smooth paste. Add cornstarch mix in. Bring to slight boil until desired thickness. Serve.

So I improvised a little here and there with this recipe. I boiled five tomatoes with the celery and onions and some dried cilantro. I strained the mix then placed in the blender. I added milk and a can of Campbells tomato soup. I left out the sugar, cornstarch and the butter. My soup turned out thick and oh so yummy.
