GARDEN-FRESH TOMATO SOUP


GARDEN-FRESH TOMATO SOUP



4 cups chopped fresh tomatoes
1 onion, chopped
2 whole cloves
1 clove garlic, minced
2 cups chicken broth
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons sugar, or to taste
1 cup cream or whole milk (optional)


In a stockpot over medium heat, combine the tomatoes, onion, cloves, garlic and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, and gently boil for about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and puree in blender. In the now-empty stockpot, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour to make a roux, cooking and stirring constantly until the roux is a medium-brown. Gradually whisk in a bit of the tomato mixture so that no lumps form, then stir in the rest. Add the cream or milk if you want to make a creamy tomato soup. Season with sugar and salt to taste.


Serves 4.
