I have an over abundance of tomatoes right now with growing my own so, I made this soup and it is wonderfully delicious! I am planning on making a larger batch and freezing some for over the winter.
Ingredients
- 1 small onion, minced
- 4 large tomatoes, peeled*, cored, seeded and chopped
- 2 celery ribs, minced
- 2 Tbsp. butter
- 1tsp. sugar
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tsp. fresh dill or 1 tsp. dried
- salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan. Add onion and celery; saute gently over medium heat for 5 minutes or until soft but, not browned. Stir in the tomatoes and sugar; simmer 8-10 minutes. Transfer all to a blender and puree. Pour back into pan and add rest of ingredients. Serve with sandwiches or garden salad for a complete meal.
*To peel tomatoes: Submerge for 30 seconds in boiling water. Remove and rinse briefly under cold water. Skins slip right off!
