Mollie Katzen Cream Of Tomato Soup I Recipes

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven, over medium heat, saute onions in butter until translucent. Remove from the heat. Stir in the flour so that no lumps remain, then slowly whisk in the tomato juice. Return to the heat and add salt to taste. Cook until just boiling but turn off the heat before it boils. Let cool 10 minutes then slowly stir in milk. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a saucepan or kettle, cook the onions and garlic in the butter with the salt until the onions are soft and translucent. Add the herbs and pepper, and sauté a few minutes more.
• Add tomatoes, sherry and honey. Cover and simmer 30-40 minute.
• (Note: the purpose of the honey in this recipe is to neutralize the acidity of the tomatoes.).
• Cut the cream cheese into small cubes and add these to the hot soup. Continue cooking and stir until smooth (the cheese will take a little while to melt thouroughly).
• If you prefer a creamy smooth soup, this recipe can be blended. Also, if it is too thick for you, more liquid can be added.
• Serve topped with freshly-chopped parsley.
