Fresh Garden Tomato Soup in bowl This is the season to enjoy tomatoes like no other time! Using your own garden tomatoes (whatever kind including cherry tomatoes) you can make this simple but delicious soup in a half an hour, with the cooking taking 20 minutes of the total time. Make a fast, fresh and inviting meal!

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

4 cups quartered tomatoes (I made it with plum AND even cherry tomatoes and loved them both!)
1 sliced onion
2 cups broth
4 whole whole cloves
2 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp flour
optional: basil, sugar, your favorite spice

Steps:

Wash and quarter tomatoes. No need to worry much about how to cut up the tomatoes or onion, since you will blend them all at the end.

Slice one onion.

Place both in a pot with 2 cups chicken broth or chicken bouillon. Add 4 whole cloves and cook for 20 minutes.

Let it cool a little, or just use a immersion blender or blender. Combine the tomatoes and onion into soup consistency.

Melt 2 tb. butter in a small pan then add 2 tbl. flour a little at a time until it turns light brown into a roux.

Add some of the soup slowly into the roux and stir it, then add it all slowly into the soup, blending it again.

I minced my fresh basil leaves and added it into the soup to distribute it evenly. Some folks add a pinch of sugar and/or salt. I did not.
Really delicious and you can taste the freshness of your own garden!
Enjoy!
