• Thursday, October 25, 2007 - Tomato Soup
This was last night's dinner. It was SO VERY GOOD! Even my daughter who is not a soup lover and groaned when I said I was making tomato soup with my bounty, said this was great and 'to keep it on the list'. My Honey also liked it and took the little bit left over to work today. Try it, perhaps you will never eat canned soup again!
Tomato Soup
2 Tbsp oil (can you say red palm? Regular oil works fine,too!)
1 cup chopped onion
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup carrot, chopped
1/2 cup celery, chopped
8-10 tomatoes, seeded and diced
7 cups chicken broth
2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp salt
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp pepper
8 drop hot sauce
Saute onion and garlic in oil until tender. Add the carrots and celery and cook 7-9 minutes until somewhat softened. Stir in remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil, then lower heat to a simmer and cover and cook for about 20 minutes, stirring frequently.
This was the end of the recipe.
However, I took the soup and blended it smooth in my VitaMix. I put it back into the pot and then combined about two cups of milk with about two Tbsp cornstarch/arrowroot powder until smooth and stirred that to the soup. I brought it back to a boil and cooked it for a couple of minutes until it had thickened. Then, after allowing it to cool a while, I served it with home-made bread and rolls.
It was a hit all around! Please let me know if you try it and like it! Thanks leemomofthree, for the good report on Greek Beans! I'm glad your family enjoyed it!

Do you think this would work in the crockpot? I would LOVE to find a tomato soup recipe that my WHOLE family loves. I'm going to have to see if I can't find someone to bless me with a whole lot of end of the season tomatoes to make this. If not, I'll use canned.
Blessings!
