Instructions:

1. Pour tomato soup into a large pot and begin to warm over medium heat, stirring often so that the bottom does not burn.

2. Dice three heirloom tomatoes and add to the pot.

3. Meanwhile, mince garlic. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic until aromatic, approximately one minute. Dice onions. Add diced onions to garlic and oil mixture. Cook for three to five minutes or until translucent.

5. Bring to a boil for five minutes stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and allow to simmer for thirty minutes.

6. A few minutes before serving add the entire contents of Oregon’s Choice Gourmet Albacore. Note: It is easier to break apart albacore before adding it to the soup for more uniformed servings.

7. Serve bowls and top with grilled corn, onion straws, basil and jalapeno sliced.
