One
of the wonderful things about fall is soup!! I love all types of soup but I am
sorry no canned soup. First of all, a pot of soup is so easy to make and
freeze. I always make more than we ever need to freeze the leftovers.
Homemade
tomato soup is a wonderful thing. Start with 4 T. butter and add one medium
finely diced onion, one medium carrot and celery rib, grated. Saute until they
are fully translucent and soft.
Next
add 4 T. flour and mix with butter. Cook for several minutes until thoroughly
mixed and combined.
Slowly
add four cups of chicken stock, 2 cans of fire roasted tomatoes and 2 t. sugar.
Bring to a low boil and cook for at least fifteen minutes to heat thoroughly
and soften the tomatoes.
Once
the soup is cooked, add 1/4 c. of heavy cream.... I added 1/2 c. but I live on
the edge. Add salt and pepper to taste. Heat the soup all the way through and
then serve. Using a stick blender, I blended the soup until smooth. The men in
my house do not like tomato chunks but you can blend it about half way through
the soup. Top with croutons or gold fish like I always serve my tomato soup!!
The
fire roasted portion add so much flavor to a soup that can be a little bland.
Delicious and fast.

ReplyDeleteI will have to try this recipe. The fire roasted tomatoes sound wonderful and I can control how sweet (or not) I would want it to be. Canned tomato soup is way to sweet for me. Thank you! .... Candy
