Muffin Tin Monday- Valentine's Day Party Treats

Before I share my Muffin Tin Monday Meal, I want to let you know I have a guest review up at The Book Chook today. I reviewed the book the Alaska's Three Pigs. If you get a chance, please stop by and check it out.

To celebrate the second day of the Virtual Valentine's Day Party I am sharing a muffin tin of yummy lunch treats.  We both enjoyed the foods in this tin.

This week JDaniel had a heart shaped empanada ( I will share the recipe for them tomorrow.), homemade tomato soup, grape tomatoes, a heart shaped crouton to dip in the soup, red grapes, and strawberry heart shaped marshmallows.

Here is the recipe for the tomato soup:

Tomato Soup

3 large cans of stewed tomatoes

3 large garlic cloves

2 cups of chopped onion

1/4 cup of minced basil

1 can of chicken broth

1/2 cup of half and half cream

Salt and pepper to taste

2 slices of whole grain bread

Directions:

• In a large saucepan, sauté onion, garlic, and olive oil. Add tomatoes and basil; cook for 5 minutes.
• Add broth; bring to a boil.
•  Puree in a blender until large chunks are removed and return the mixture to the saucepan.
•  Warm half and half in a small saucepan over medium heat.
•  Stir half and half, salt and pepper into soup.
•  Enjoy with croutons cut out of bread with a cookie cutter and sautéed in a pan with olive oil.
