EASY Garlic Cheese Biscuits

Today we served up a batch of Garlic Cheese Biscuits. They turned out great. I doubled the batch and there were hardly any left. They went very well with our homemade tomato soup.

Garlic Cheese Biscuits

1 1/2 C. flour

1 1/2 T. sugar

1 T. baking powder

1/2 teas. salt

3 C. shredded cheddar cheese (I didn't double the cheese)

1 C. milk

1 egg

1/4 C. melted butter

1 T. garlic powder

Stir together dry ingredients, then stir in cheese. In another bowl beat together the liquids. Pour into dry ingredients and stir to combine well. Bake at 375 for 20-25 min. Enjoy!

Tomato Soup

4 T. butter

2 T. olive oil

1 onion, chopped

salt and pepper to taste

basil (looks and taste)

1/4 C. flour

3 T. tomato paste

1/2 t. dried thyme

2 cans (14 1/2 oz.) chicken broth

2 cans (28 oz) whole peeled tomatoes in juice

Melt butter, add onion, oil, salt and pepper. Cook until onion is translucent. Stir in flour and tomato paste, cook 1 minute.

To a saucepan, add thyme, broth, and tomatoes. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes. Blend to smooth or I put in the blender before heating which reduces the risk of burns. But I only chopped everything fine rather than a complete blend. Heat and serve.
