Best done with fresh ripe tomatoes, but also very good with canned tomatoes. If you use fresh herbs, you will need more than dried (in proportion, 3 times more). I ate this soup for the first time when I visited an aunt. She made this just for me. Over the years, I made my own version to match the taste I remembered. Here it is. Bon appetit.

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 ripe tomatoes
2 cups milk
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon white sugar
¼ cup milk
¼ teaspoon baking soda
1 pinch dried basil
1 pinch dried oregano
1 pinch dried marjoram

Steps:

  • In a saucepan, heat the tomatoes and cut them in small pieces. (If you use the fresh ones, put the tomatoes into a boiling bath until the peel cracks. Peel them and proceed the same way)
  • Heat the 2 cups of milk in another saucepan.
  • Mix flour, salt, pepper, sugar and 1/4 cup milk in a small dish until smooth. Stir the flour mixture into the simmering milk until it thickens. DO NOT BOIL.
  • Stir the baking soda into the hot tomatoes. When the fizzing slows down, add slowly to the hot milk. Simmer a few minutes, adding basil, oregano, and marjoram to taste.
  • Note: If you want a creamy cream of tomato, you will have to put your tomatoes through a sieve or a food processor before you mix them with the milk.

This soup was a bit too tangy for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference.

I made a few changes to the recipe and it turned out great. I used chicken broth instead of vegetable broth and added a teaspoon of dried oregano.
