Market Recipe: Fresh Tomato Soup

*Ingredients can be purchased at the market

 

Ingredients

4 cups chopped fresh tomatoes*

1 chopped onion*

4 whole cloves (or pinch of ground cloves)

2 cups chicken or vegetable broth

2 Tbsp. butter

2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour

1 tsp. salt

2 tsp. sugar, or adjust to taste

 

Directions

In a large pot, over medium heat, combine the tomatoes, onion, cloves and broth. Bring to a boil, and then simmer for 20 minutes.

Remove from heat and run the mixture through a food mill into a large bowl, or pan. Discard tomato seeds, skins, and cloves remaining in the mill.

In the empty pot, melt the butter and then stir in flour to make a “roux” (a thick combination), cooking over low heat until the roux is a medium brown.

Slowly whisk in the tomato mixture, eliminating lumps, then stir in the rest.

Season with sugar and salt to suit your taste.
