Fresh Tomato Soup

Fresh Tomato Soup

Diana Rattray
Tomato soup with fresh tomatoes, rice, and onions. Feel free to replace 1 to 2 cups of the chicken broth with tomato juice or V-8 Vegetable Juice for even more flavor.

Ingredients:

  • 1 large onion, quartered and thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped celery
  • 1 medium carrot, sliced
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 8 large tomatoes, peeled, seeded, chop
  • 8 cups chicken broth
  • 3 tablespoons uncooked long-grain rice or rice blend
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon or dried leaf thyme, or to taste
  • freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley

Preparation:

In a saucepan, sauté onion, celery and carrots in butter until softened but not browned. Add tomatoes and a small amount of chicken broth. Simmer for 15 minutes. In a Dutch oven or stock pot, combine sautéed vegetables, remaining chicken broth and rice. Season with salt, thyme and pepper. Simmer 20 to 30 minutes. Serve garnished with parsley. If desired, blend a few cups of soup and add back to the mixture for a thicker soup.
Serves 8 to 10.

"I've made this twice in one week to use up garden tomatoes. This is the best soup to freeze for winter. Very tastey"
