In a 6-quart stock pot, combine the onions, carrots, celery, water, tomato powder, diced tomatoes, Italian seasoning, garlic, salt, and spice blend and bring to a simmer, stirring to blend well.

Let soup simmer for about 20 minutes covered, until all items become tender.

Add the hot sauce, vinegar, cream, and parmesan and stir well to blend.

Chef's Notes:

For a thicker soup, reduce the liquid by simmering longer before the final cream is added. Use a hand-held blender and puree soup to a smooth consistency, taste, and adjust seasoning as needed.
