Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.

In a soup pot, combine tomatoes, sugar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper; bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low and slowly stir in cream and basil. Simmer 5 to 7 minutes, or until heated through. Do not allow to boil.

Meanwhile, place crackers on baking sheet and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Bake 3 to 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted.

Top soup with crackers; serve immediately.
