Pin Recipe
Ingredients
3 tbsp. olive oil
3 large cloves garlic, pressed
1 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes
1 14.5 ounce can chicken broth
1 cup tomato and clam juice cocktail
¾ cup bottled bloody mary mix
1 tsp. dried basil
3 dashes chipotle-flavored hot sauce, or more to taste
¼ tsp. garlic, minced
Salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 cup half-and-half
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a 2-quart saucepan, over low heat; add garlic and stir until lightly browned; about 5 minutes.
Stir in tomatoes and increase heat to medium; simmer for 10 minutes.
Stir in chicken broth, tomato and clam juice cocktail, bloody mary mix, basil, hot sauce, garlic salt, and black pepper.
Partially cover saucepan with lid and simmer until reduced; about 20 minutes.
Reduce heat to low and add half-and-half; stir until heated through; about 5 minutes more.
Notes
It is very important not to overcook the garlic or it will give it a burned taste.
