CREAMY TOMATO AND SUMMER HERB SOUP
This creamy tomato and summer herb soup takes less than 25 minutes to prepare and can be served hot or cold. I prefer it hot. It is bursting with flavor and contains a full serving of vegetables in each bowl. Tarragon is the herb of choice in this version of the recipe, but chopped basil or even mint would work, too. While some creamy soups are made with heavy cream or sour cream, this one gets a rich, tangy flavor from a modest amount of reduced-fat sour cream. If you like, you can use low-fat plain yogurt instead. The soup is best when made with ripe tomatoes, but a 28-ounce can of diced tomatoes with their juices can be substituted in a pinch. For a complete light meal, serve this soup with a salad and a few slices of grilled whole-grain baguette.

Steps:
- In a heavy, medium-size saucepan, melt the butter just until it foams. Add the shallots or onion and saute over medium heat just until wilted and very lightly colored, about seven to eight minutes.
- Stir in two teaspoons of the salt and the tomatoes, cover tightly and cook slowly for about 12 minutes until the tomatoes are soft.
- Transfer the mixture to the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel chopping blade and puree until smooth. Or pass the mixture through a food mill. Return the puree to the saucepan, stir in the chicken stock and milk, season with white pepper and heat gently for a few minutes.
- In a chilled bowl, beat the heavy cream just until it forms soft peaks. Stir in the remaining salt and the basil. Ladle the soup into bowls, add a good-size dollop of the basil cream in the middle of each bowl and place a couple of basil leaves in the center. To make a decorative design, swirl the cream outwards in a circular or sunburst pattern, using the tip of a knife or spoon handle.

Tips:
- Use ripe, fresh tomatoes: The fresher the tomatoes, the better the soup will taste. If you can, use tomatoes from your own garden or from a local farmer's market.
- Roast the tomatoes: Roasting the tomatoes intensifies their flavor and gives the soup a slightly smoky taste. You can roast the tomatoes in the oven or on the stovetop.
- Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even water. If you're using water, you may want to add a little bit of salt or bouillon to give it more flavor.
- Don't overcook the soup: The soup should be cooked just until the tomatoes are soft and the flavors have melded together. Overcooking the soup will make it lose its flavor and nutrients.
- Season to taste: Once the soup is cooked, season it to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or basil.
Conclusion:
Creamy Fresh Tomato Summer Soup is a delicious, refreshing, and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a summer lunch or dinner. It is made with fresh tomatoes, roasted tomatoes, and a creamy broth. The soup is also packed with flavor and nutrients. If you are looking for a healthy and delicious soup to enjoy this summer, Creamy Fresh Tomato Summer Soup is a great option.
