Garden Fresh Tomato Soup

0 Comments

 
INGREDIENTS:
4 cups chopped fresh tomatoes                             
1 onion, roughly chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped                                             
2 cups chicken broth
 
3 tbsp. fresh chopped basil                                       
2 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
1 tsp salt                                                                                
2 tsp sugar
 
2 tbsp. butter                                                                     
​2 tbsp. flour
 
INSTRUCTIONS:
In a stockpot, over medium heat, combine the tomatoes, onion, cloves and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, and gently boil for about 20 minutes to blend all of the flavors. All fresh chopped basil and balsamic vinegar.  Remove from heat and run the mixture through a food mill into a large bowl, or pan. Discard any stuff left over in the food mill.  (I use my immersion blender while it is still in the pot!)
 
​In the now empty stockpot, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour to make a roux, cooking until the roux is a medium brown.  (If you use an immersion blender you will need to do this in another pan)  Gradually whisk in a bit of the tomato mixture, so that no lumps form, then stir in the rest. Season with sugar and salt, and adjust to taste.
