My Lime Green Kitchen

If you halfway like canned tomato soup, you should try making it homemade.    I use home canned tomatoes but if you don’t have those, I’m sure you can use storebought canned stewed tomatoes and have good results.  You know restaurants don’t use home canned tomatoes and I often get good tomato soup in restaurants.

A stick blender really helps in making this soup.

Ingredients

2 quarts home canned tomatoes or 3 – 15 oz. cans stewed tomatoes
1/4 c. celery, finely chopped
1/2 c. carrots, finely chopped
1 cup cream
2 T. flour
salt and black pepper to taste
1/2 tsp. onion powder
basil or dill

Directions:

Simmer tomatoes, celery and carrots until vegetables are tender.  Using a stick blender, blend until tomatoes, celery and onions are completely liquified.

Stir flour into cream and pour into soup, while blending with stick blender.  Add salt, pepper and onion powder.  Gently simmer for 1 minutes.

Serve in bowls with basil or dill sprinkled on top.
