[Guest guest]

This is a delicious version of cream of tomato soup.

Read the recipe and you will see. It really looks like a lot of steps, it's

not and well worth

making. Now that I dug the book out and will post. I better make this again

real soon.

 

Creamy Tomato Soup

 

2 28 oz. cans of whole tomatoes

1 tblspn. light brown or dark brown sugar

3 tbslpns. butter or margarine

2 medium leeks, white & light green parts halved lengthwise,

washed, and sliced crosswise into thin strips

1 tblspn. double-strength tomato paste (comes in a tube like toothpaste and

imported from Italy),

more intense flavor but the American canned version will work.

Salt

1/8 tsp. nutmeg

2 tblspns. all purpose flour

2 cups vegetable broth

Cayenne pepper

 

Heat oven to 475 degrees and line a cookie sheet with foil.

Drain the tomatoes in a strainer and over a large bowl to collect the huices.

With your fingers gently open the tomatoes, letting the jucies and seeds drop

into the

strainer. Place the seeded tomatoes on the foil lined sheet. Sprinkle with

the brown sugar and roast until liquid has evaporated, about 20 minutes.

Discard the seeds in the strainer and reserve the juice in the bowl.

You should have abour 2 1/2 cups juice.

Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the leeks and 1/4 tsp.

salt and cook stirring until

the leeks have softened, about 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste and nutmeg and

cook stirring, about 1 minute.

Add the flour and stir, cook for 1 minute. Whisking constantly add the veggie

broth until the mixture is smooth, without any flour lumps

Add the reserved tomato juice and roasted tomatoes. Bring to a boil, reduce

heat, cover and simmer on low to blend the flavors, about 10 mins.

Puree the soup in batches in a blender until perfectly smooth.

cayenne pepper to taste.

use. Keeps several days in the fridge.
