Tomato Basil Garlic Bisque

This is a great twist on the classic tomato soup we all know. 
3 tbsp butter
2 tbsp evoo
1 onion
2 tbsp minced garlic
2 tbsp  basil ( you can use fresh if you like)
4 cups chicken broth ( leave out about 1/2 cup for your roux)
1/2 cup flour
2 large cans peeled whole tomato ( need about 2 lb)
1 small can tomato paste
1 can tomato sauce with basil, garlic, oregeno
1 package cream cheese
to your preference add salt, pepper, paprika for flavor


Saute your onions in the evoo and butter, then add your garlic- dont let them burn. Add your seasonings and can of tomato sauce. 
In a crockpot put 3 cans of chicken broth, can of peeled tomato, tomato paste, and then your onions and garlic. 
Let this cook on high for about 2 hours, then puree in a blender and put back into the crockpot. Melt your cream cheese in a bowl in the microwave and add to your crockpot. Then make you a roux with the flour and chicken broth. Add to your soup and let it cook for another hour.
