Fresh Tomato Soup

This tomato soup recipe is simple, quick, and perfect to make when tomatoes are ripe in gardens and farmers' markets for a delicious summertime treat. Delicious with garlic bread or a grilled cheese sandwich.

Ingredients

• 4 cups chopped fresh tomatoes
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 4 cloves garlic
• 1 large slice of onion
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons white sugar, or to taste
• 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste

Instructions

1. Gather the ingredients.
2. Combine tomatoes, chicken broth, garlic cloves, and a large slice of onion in a stockpot over medium heat. Bring to a boil, and gently simmer for about 20 minutes to blend flavors.
3. 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.
4. Melt butter over medium heat in the now empty stockpot. Stir in flour to make a roux by cooking, whisking constantly, until mixture turns medium brown.
5. Gradually whisk in a bit of the tomato mixture to prevent lumps from forming, then stir in the rest.
6. Season with sugar and salt to taste.
7. Serve hot and enjoy!
