Easy Tomato Soup Recipe

After a weekend hike, my husband said he was craving tomato soup.  I foraged through my pantry and refrigerator and whipped up an impromptu batch that we both enjoyed a lot.  I found leeks, oregano and basil in my refrigerator and canned diced tomatoes and a bottle of vegetable juice in my pantry.  Other ingredients can easily be substituted and  I’ve listed suggestions in parentheses.  I did not add any salt because the vegetable juice has salt included in the mixture.  Since we like pepper, I was very liberal with the pepper grinder that is filled with a medley of peppercorn types.
