Tomato Soup, Whistler Style

Several years ago my sister, my cousin and I spent a weekend in beautiful Whistler BC.

  We had lunch in a small sandwich place in the Village and enjoyed this soup. 

 Here is my version of it.

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
• 1/2 cup sliced celery
• 1 cup finely sliced cabbage
• 1 clove garlic, minced 
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil or 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 can tomato soup undiluted
• 1 can water
• 1 can milk
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• freshly ground pepper
• sour cream for garnish (opt.)

1. Heat oil in a frying pan and add onion and celery.
2. Saute' for a few minutes and then add cabbage and garlic.
3. Continue to cook and stir for another 5-8 minutes until cabbage is wilted but still has some crunch left.
4. Place vegetables into a pot and add remaining ingredients.
5. Bring to a boil and let it simmer until the flavours come together, another 5-10 minutes.
