Potage de Tomate

for the sick shut in, or the lazy

1 can crushed tomatoes
1 cube veggie stock
1 cup water
whatever herbs you have in your cabinet that sound appealing
half-half or milk or whatever dairy or dairy substitute you have
butter

Combine tomatoes, stock cube, and water in pan. Bring to boil, make sure the veggie cube is broken up. Add herbs. Cook for whatever time you think is necessary (a few mintues or so). Throw this into your blender and (carefully!) give it a whirl til smooth. Put back into pan, add a dash of your dairy juice and a dab of butter. Season to taste.

Serve with buttered toast triangles.

Eat (pathetically) in your pajamas and feel comforted.
