This is one of the best recipes I have because it can be put together in no time. When tomato season is here, you'll find me making this pretty and pleasing soup often. Ingredients:
1 cup chopped onion |
1/4 cup butter, cubed |
3 pounds fresh tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped |
2 tablespoons tomato paste |
1 tablespoon sugar |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon dried basil |
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1/4 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
4 cups chicken broth, divided |
1 cup heavy whipping cream |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan over medium heat, saute onion in butter until tender. Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, sugar, salt, basil, thyme and pepper; simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Combine flour and 3/4 cup broth; form a smooth paste; gradually stir into tomato mixture with remaining broth.
2. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes, or until thickened. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until tomatoes are tender. Remove from the heat. Stir in cream; serve immediately. Yield: 4-6 servings.
