Fresh Tomato Soup image

I found this on the web some time ago--I don't have the source. I've made it a couple of times and liked it...the cloves are a suprising ingredient, but they really make for a different-tasting take on tomato soup. Hope you like this!

Time 35m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 cups chopped fresh tomatoes
1 slice onion (I use Vidalia)
4 whole cloves
2 cups chicken broth (I use vegetable)
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons white sugar, to taste (I used less than 2 tsp)

Steps:

  • In a large pot, over medium heat, combine the tomatoes, onion, cloves and chicken broth.
  • Bring to a boil, and gently boil for about 20 minutes to blend all of the flavors.
  • Remove from heat and run the mixture through a food mill into a large bowl, or pan.
  • Discard any stuff left over in the food mill.
  • You can also strain this to remove the large pieces (I don't have a food mill.) In the now empty pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
  • Stir in the flour to make a roux, cooking until the roux is a medium brown.
  • Gradually whisk in a bit of the tomato mixture, so that no lumps form, then stir in the rest.
  • Season with sugar and salt, and adjust to taste.
