Tomato Basil soup & Flat Bread

We had a wonderful meal this week that was really simple and didn't take too long to throw together.  Hope y'all enjoy.

Tomato Basil soup w/ Meatballs
  • 2 (28 ounce) cans crushed or pureed tomatoes
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can chicken broth
  • 18 fresh basil leaves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • seasoning salt to taste
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 cup whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup butter or margarine
  • 2 bags of Meatballs (all natural)
             In a large saucepan, bring the tomatoes and broth to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Add basil, seasonings and sugar. Reduce heat to low; stir in cream and butter. Cook until butter is melted.


Flat bread

·                        3 cups all purpose flour
·                        1 cup ice water + water as needed to moisten, 1 teaspoon at a time
·                        3 tablespoons shortening
·                        2 teaspoons salt
·                        2 teaspoons baking powder
·                        pinch of baking soda
Combine all ingredients and form into a dough, as water as needed if too crumbly. Cut into 4 or 5 equal pieces. Roll out to a thin 8 inch circle. Prick the surface of the dough with a fork and cook on an oiled hot griddle. Turn with a spatula. Watch these flat bread disks closely because they cook fast. Serve warm.
