Categories     Vegetable Soup

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 cups chopped fresh tomatoes
1 onion finely chopped (1/2 of one large onion)
4 whole cloves, or use 1/8 tsp. ground cloves
2 cups chicken broth
2 tablesp. butter (l used 3 tablespoons)
2 tablesp. flour (l used 3 tablespoons)
1 tsp. salt (l only used 1/2 teaspoon)
2 tsp. granulated sugar

Steps:

  • 1. In a large stockpot over medium heat, combine the tomatoes, onion, cloves, and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, and gently boil for 20 minutes. (If making more than one batch of soup in the stockpot, like I did, I suggest covering the pot with a lid. This allows the vegetables to come to a boil much quicker. And after the vegetables come to a boil, remove the lid, and then I gently boil the vegetables for 25 minutes.)
  • 2. Remove the stockpot from the heat, and run the vegetable mixture through a food mill into a large bowl, or pan. (I did try to remove any cloves I spotted, before running mixture through the food mill.) Discard any tomato/onion mixture left over in the food mill.
  • 3. In the now empty stockpot, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour to make a roux, cooking until the roux is light golden brown in color.
  • 4. Quickly whisk in a bit of the tomato mixture, so that no lumps form, then stir in the rest of the tomato juice mixture.
  • 5. Season soup with the salt and sugar.
  • 6. Heat the soup through, then serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the ripest, freshest tomatoes you can find. This will ensure the best flavor in your soup.
  • Roast the tomatoes before making the soup. This concentrates their flavor and gives the soup a richer, more complex taste.
  • Use a variety of tomatoes. This will add depth and complexity to the flavor of the soup.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices. There are many different ways to flavor tomato soup, so find a combination that you enjoy.
  • Serve the soup with a variety of toppings. This could include croutons, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped fresh basil, or a dollop of sour cream.

Conclusion:

Tomato soup is a classic comfort food that can be enjoyed year-round. It's a great way to use up fresh tomatoes from your garden, and it's also a delicious and nutritious meal. With its rich, flavorful broth and variety of toppings, tomato soup is sure to please everyone at your table.
