Ingredients
- 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

- 8 cups beef stock
- ½ teaspoon dried basil

- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese
- salt and pepper to taste

Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
