Number Of Ingredients 16

2 (29 ounce) cans diced tomatoes
2 stalks celery, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 red bell pepper, chopped
2 tablespoons margarine
½ pound mushrooms, chopped
1 onion, finely diced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon white sugar
8 cups beef stock
½ teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon dried rosemary
½ teaspoon dried thyme
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese
salt and pepper to taste
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Place the tomatoes with juice in a well buttered oven-proof baking dish. Mix in celery, garlic, and red pepper. Cover, and bake at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) for 25 minutes.
  • In a large stock pot, melt butter or margarine over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and onions, and cook and stir for about 8 minutes.
