Tomato Soup & Crackers.
Easy Cream of Tomato Soup
3 TBLS butter
1 onion chopped
2 -3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 carrot, diced
1 rib celery, diced
3 TBLS all purpose flour
1 28 oz can of plum tomatoes with juices
2 cups chicken stock
1 cup milk
½ cup of half & half cream (optional)
1/4 cup of gin
Salt & pepper
- You can also add about 6 pieces of lightly cooked bacon.
Melt butter in a large saucepan. Add onion, garlic, carrot and celery. Cook 10 minutes until tender. Stir in flour, cook for a few minutes.
Stir in tomatoes and chicken stock. Break tomatoes up with spoon. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and cook gently for 20 minutes, Add gin and simmer for 5 minutes.
Puree soup. (Hope you have a blender)
Return to heat. Stir in milk and cream (warm them up a bit to prevent curdling) Heat thoroughly. Add the cooked bacon if you desire.
Season the soup with salt and pepper. If the soup is a little too thick, you can add extra stock.
You will be surprised at how good this is & I’ve made it without the gin, but it is not the same.
