Ingredients for this Fresh Tomato Soup Recipe
- 4 cups chopped fresh tomatoes
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 large slice of onion (about 1/2 cup)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons white sugar (or to taste)
- 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
Directions
- Prepare the tomatoes: In a large pot, heat the butter over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, sautéing until soft and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add tomatoes and broth: Stir in the chopped tomatoes, chicken broth, sugar, and salt. Bring the mixture to a simmer, and cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes soften and break down.
- Make the roux: In a separate pan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes, until it turns golden (this is your roux).
- Blend the soup: Once the tomatoes are cooked, use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth, or carefully transfer the soup to a regular blender in batches.
- Combine and finish: Stir the roux into the soup to thicken, and let it simmer for another 5 minutes. Taste and adjust salt and sugar as needed.
- Serve: Ladle into bowls and enjoy!
