This is a quick and easy soup to make with canned tomatoes and milk, but sauteed chopped onion and celery give it a homemade touch.

Ingredients:

  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped celery
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups milk
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon (scant) ground black pepper
  • 2 cans (14.5 ounces each) diced tomatoes, undrained
  • chopped basil leaves or fresh grated Parmesan, optional

Preparation:

In a large saucepan, heat butter over medium-low heat. Add chopped onion and celery; cook, stirring, until tender. Stir flour into the vegetable mixture, stirring until well incorporated. Gradually stir in milk and add the sugar, salt, and pepper. Continue to heat, stirring, until the mixture thickens and begins to boil.

Dice tomatoes smaller or puree in a blender or processor, if desired. Heat tomatoes in a separate saucepan then gradually add them to the first mixture, stirring constantly. If desired, garnish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese or fresh chopped basil leaves.
Serves 6.

"I am only 16 yrs old so I wanted a quick and delicious recipe I could make for lunch. I have to admit I didn't think the soup would be that great, but this recipe definately exceeded my expectations. It was the perfect blend of tangy, and creamy. I absolutely love it and would recommend this to anyone who has never made tomato soup before or, just wants a simple recipe. However I didn't add the chopped celery, and just garnished it with crushed pepper."
