Creamy Tomato Soup

Williamson Family Rating: 5 stars by Lindsey; Colby won't touch tomato soup!

(I think this recipe is originally from my favorite cook book - "Tables of Content" - its one of Birmingham Junior League's books.)


I have been craving tomato soup this pregnancy. Weird. This is the recipe I have eaten for the last 4 meals…

Saute one chopped onion and 2 cloves minced garlic in 2 T butter till it smells good. Put this in blender or food processor with 3 (14 oz) cans drained tomatoes, ¼ c flour, 2 T tomato paste, s/p. and lots and lots of fresh basil and blend til smooth.

Heat 4 cups of milk in pan till warm. Pour in tomatoes and bring to boil. Reduce and simmer 20 minutes. I added about ½ c toasted pine nuts and about 1 T butter to give it some richness. Great with crusty sour dough bread and a dollop of plain yogurt!
