I'm looking for a recipe for tomato soup that I can use with the TONS of fresh tomatoes I'm getting from my garden! Also, is it possible to freeze some of the soup after making it? Thanks!

Recipes.com, and yes, it freezes well. Basically you blender them up and add seasonings. I also like to just freeze the small ones whole and toss them into a spaghetti sauce in mid-winter for a shot of fresh flavor. Good luck -
Garden Fresh Tomato Soup
INGREDIENTS
4 cups chopped fresh tomatoes
1 slice onion
4 whole cloves
2 cups chicken broth
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
If you don't want to use them all as soup & you like tomato juice, you should make juice with them. I am thankful for every tomato I get to make juice with! I have even started adding a little lime or lemon with the juice & it is yummy!
How lucky you are to have that many tomatoes!
'Round here they are very temperamental.
Here is what my mom used to do during WWll She had a "Victory Garden ". And grew those big beefsteak tomatoes. Anyway..juice half a pot full, drain off the pulp to add to spaghetti sauce.( ok to freeze that sauce too ) Now dice up an onion and a couple of potatoes, simmer on low until tender.
Tomato Soup
28 oz can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup butter
2 T sugar
2 T onion, chopped
1/8 tsp baking soda
2 cup whipping cream (I would use regular milk)
In saucepan mix tomatoes, broth, butter, sugar, onion & baking soda together. Cover & simmer for 30 minutes. Heat cream separately & add to tomato mixture just before serving. I don't like chunky so I puree it before adding the cream.
