Fresh Tomato Soup 2

Recipe Author: Conne Ward Cameron

Fresh tomato soup recipes abound. A few years ago I suggested a similar one to this, but it wasn’t heated and used sugar instead of honey. This one has more peppers in it ( you could use a jalapeno or two if you like) and just a tiny bit of cream. Serve it with a grilled cheese and caramelized onion sandwich ?

Ingredients:

2 pounds tomatoes, seeded and chopped 1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped red sweet peppers (2 medium) 1/2 sweet onion, chopped 1/4 cup snipped fresh basil 1 cup reduced-sodium vegetable broth or chicken broth 2 tablespoons whipping cream 1 tablespoon honey

Preparation:

In a blender or food processor combine half of the tomatoes, half of the sweet peppers, half of the onion, and half of the basil; add half of the broth. Cover and blend or process until smooth. Transfer all to a large saucepan. Repeat with the remaining tomatoes, sweet peppers, onion, basil, and broth. Cook over medium heat until heated through. Stir in cream and honey. Serve warm.
