4 cups chopped fresh tomatoes


1 slice onion


4 whole cloves


2 cups chicken broth


2 tablespoons butter


2 tablespoons all-purpose flour


1 teaspoon salt


2 teaspoons white sugar, or to taste





In a stockpot, over medium heat, combine the tomatoes, onion, cloves and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, and gently boil for about 20 minutes to blend all of the flavors. 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.


In the now empty stockpot, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour to make a roux, cooking 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. Season with sugar and salt, and adjust to taste.Anyone have a recipe for simple tomato soup using fresh tomatoes (no canned tomatoes or tomato paste)?
I encourage you to try this; it鈥檚 cheaper, more nutritious and much, much more tasty than the tinned version. It鈥檚 also simple and very quick to prepare, and a great way to use up the glut of fresh tomatoes that you often get in the garden (and cheap in the supermarkets) around harvest time. Serve it with some delicious fresh bread; organic bread especially granary would be my choice to adds a nice bit of texture. This recipe serves two as a main course, although the quantities are approximate! This is also a good recipe to freeze for a very quick taste of summer in midwinter. If freezing, do so before addition of the cream.





Ingredients


1 onion


1 small potato


A little butter


500g fresh tomatoes, preferably over- rather than under-ripe


1/3 pint of milk


1 chicken stock cube


2 tablespoons of chopped fresh basil (really, it is much better fresh)


录 pint of single cream


Salt


Ground black pepper


Preparation


Finely chop the onion, and potato, and lightly fry in the butter until they soften.


Finely chop the tomatoes, and add to the potato and onion, fry for 5 minutes.


Add all other ingredients apart from the cream. Before adding any salt add the stock cube, and taste, it鈥檚 quite likely that you won鈥檛 need any. Allow to simmer for 15 minutes. If the mixture is looking too thick add a little water.


Cool the soup slightly, then pour into a blender / food processor and liquidise. If you don鈥檛 have a blender, push the soup through a sieve with the back of a wooden spoon.


Add a little bit of cream to the soup, and blend / stir in.


Pour into serving bowls, and add a swirl of cream to each bowl.





A 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of celery seed is a really good addition to this recipe too!
