Chunky Cream of Tomato Soup image

This version (mine) of cream of tomato soup is a bit chunky and though cloves seem like an odd choice as a spice - the soup just isn't the same without it. I think I'll make a pot tonight actually - love this stuff! Serve with salad and crusty bread for a great light supper!

Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 Tbsp canola or olive oil
1 large onion, diced
2-3 ribs celery, sliced fairly thin
1 tsp ground cloves
2 can(s) (28 oz) diced tomatoes (drain but reserve juice)
1 c water
1 c milk
1 c half and half (or coffee cream)
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. In a large soup pot, heat the olive oil. Add the onion and celery and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until just softened.
  • 2. Stir in the tomato paste, ground cloves and season to taste with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes. Add the water and the tomatoes and their juices and bring to a boil. Simmer the soup over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is reduced by one-third, about 30 minutes.
  • 3. Transfer half of the soup to a blender or food processor bowl, cool in fridge for 10-15 minutes and then puree until smooth. (Sometimes I find the tomato mixture a bit looser than I want - if this happens, I just mix a tablespoon of of Robin Hood Easy Mix flour in a bit of water and stir in.) Return the puree to the pot, add milk and half & half and heat to desired temperature for serving. Note: If you are watching fat you can use 2 cups milk instead of a cup of cream.

I've made this soup several times now and it's always a winner. It's so easy to make and it's always delicious. I love that it's made with fresh tomatoes, and the addition of cream and Parmesan cheese gives it a rich and creamy flavor.
