"New Jersey is a well-known producer of tomatoes. Having our own garden leaves us with an abundance at the end of the season. Not wanting the tomatoes to go to waste, Hubby and I came up with our favorite version of tomato soup."

Original Recipe Yield 4 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 7 cups peeled, seeded, and chopped tomato
  • 1 cup finely chopped carrots
  • 3/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 (13.75 ounce) can chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons sea salt
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup 2% milk
  • 2 teaspoons dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon celery salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions

  1. Bring the tomatoes, carrots, and onion to a boil over medium-high heat in a stockpot, then reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 30 minutes. Stir in the chicken broth, sugar, and salt.
  2. Melt the butter over medium-low heat in a small saucepan. Whisk in the flour, stirring until thick. Slowly whisk in the milk until smooth. Cook and stir, whisking constantly until thickened, about 5 minutes, then stir milk mixture in to the stockpot. Season with basil, celery salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Continue to simmer the soup on low to reduce and thicken, about 1 hour.

Footnotes

  • Cook's Note
  • A food processor can be used to finely chop the carrots and onion. An immersion blender can be used for a smooth texture.
