Simple Tomato Soup

What a tasty, quick soup, especially good with hot, gooey grilled cheese. I will never eat the canned stuff again. I found this recipe clipped from a magazine, I think Taste of Home, but I can't be sure.

• Ready In: 30 mins
• Serves: 8

Ingredients

• 2 (14 1/2ounce) cans diced tomatoes, undrained (with basil, oregano and garlic)

• 2  garlic cloves, minced
• 6  tablespoons flour
• 1 (48 ounce) carton chicken broth

1. In a blender, process tomatoes with juices until pureed; set aside.
2. In a large saucepan, heat butter over medium-high-heat. Add onion; cook and stir until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer.
3. Remove from the heat; stir in flour until smooth. Cook for 1 minute.
4. Gradually whisk in broth.
5. Add pureed tomatoes; bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
6. Reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes to allow flavors to blend.
