Creamy Herbed Tomato Soup
Try roasting the tomatoes on a hot grill for more flavor...
| 4 large heirloom or yellow tomatoes, (peeled and seeded if desired) chopped |
| 1 medium onion, minced |
| 1-2 garlic cloves, pressed |
| 1 cup half & half or heavy cream |
| 1 tbsp. butter |
| 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable stock |
| 3 tsp. chopped mixed fresh herbs such as basil, chives, parsley, marjoram, or oregano |
| In a medium pot or Dutch oven, add the butter and onions, saut?until translucent about 3-4 minutes. Add garlic and herbs and cook 2 minutes more. Add tomatoes and stock and simmer until tomatoes begin to fall apart, about 10-15 minutes. Remove several ladles full of soup and add to a food processor or blender and puree until smooth. Continue until soup is the consistency you prefer. (you can have a very smooth soup, strained or keep it coarse and rustic.) Add cream or half and half and cook until hot. Serve garnished with homemade herb croutons, focaccia, cheese biscuits, or as a first course for an elegant meal. A Food Mill makes easy work of preparing the tomatoes, check out our catalog for this item and more...
