Fresh Tomato Soup

"I found this on the web some time ago--I don't have the source. I've made it a couple of times and liked it...the cloves are a suprising ingredient, but they really make for a different-tasting take on tomato soup. Hope you like this!"

directions

  • In a large pot, over medium heat, combine the tomatoes, onion, cloves and chicken broth.
  • Bring to a boil, and gently boil for about 20 minutes to blend all of the flavors.
  • Remove from heat and run the mixture through a food mill into a large bowl, or pan.
  • Discard any stuff left over in the food mill.
  • You can also strain this to remove the large pieces (I don't have a food mill.) In the now empty pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
  • Stir in the flour to make a roux, cooking until the roux is a medium brown.
  • Gradually whisk in a bit of the tomato mixture, so that no lumps form, then stir in the rest.
  • Season with sugar and salt, and adjust to taste.

  1. This soup was really good and easy to make. I do not have a food mill, so I took out the cloves and put the mixture in a Vita-Mix blender on high. If you do this, is still contains all the seeds and skins ground up very fine, so cut back on the flour just a little. I didn't and my soup was very thick, but very good!
     
  2. I have been trying to find this recipe for months! I just love it! Its easy to make and it tastes delicious. I am not too fond of cloves so i just used one. I do not own a food mill, so i just put the mixture in the blender and then strained it. I rather the veg broth too.
     
  3. I don't have a food mill. I did my best but it still had some little chunks in it. Everyone in my house loved it but for some reason I was turned off by the chunks. It did have a great taste though. Next time I'll be sure to have a food mill before I make it.
     
  4. The cloves in this is a great touch and make an excellent change to the usual tomato soup. I cheated a bit and used some canned tomatoes as well as fresh and that worked well [although 100% fresh is always nicer]. the sugar is good for removing any tartness from the tomatoes.
