Rustic Tomato Soup Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Roughly chop and seed 4 cups of tomatoes. In a large pot, combine tomatoes, chopped onion, and chicken broth.
• 2. Bring mixture to a boil then reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes.
• 3. Remove from heat. Add tomato sauce, salt, pepper, and sugar.
• 4. Using an immersion blender, blend to desired consistency.
• 5. To remove any remaining seeds or skin, pour cooled soup through a colander and into a large bowl. Stir or push through with the back of a large spoon.
• 6. Wipe out soup kettle and melt butter. Add flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until it begins to become golden.
• 7. Add a ladleful of soup to the butter/flour mixture and blend.
• 8. Then, add the rest of the tomato soup mixture and stir. Heat to a low simmer. Check salt, pepper, and sugar and adjust to taste. All tomatoes have different sugar content. 3-4 teaspoons seem to work for us. Adjust to your own preference. Serve.
