Irish Tomato Soup image

I found this in a cookbook from Neiman Marcus (Pure & Simple) at garage sale. This is by-far the BEST summer/fall fresh veggies-from-your-garden soup I have ever tried! Hope u enjoy too.

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 Tbsp butter
2 yellow onions, peeled & chopped
1 carrot, chopped
2 medium potatoes, chopped
6 1/2 c chicken broth
7-8 ripe tomatoes
1 1/2 Tbsp basil leaves
salt & pepper to taste
2 c milk

Steps:

  • 1. Melt butter in soup/dutch pot. Add onions & carrots , cook 5 miniutes. Add potaotes, stir briefly. Add chicken broth.
  • 2. At this point, you can do the extra work of blanching & removing skins on the tomatoes but I find it is not worth it. I roughly chop the tomatoes & add, skin & all.
  • 3. Simmer 1 hour. **This is the point you can cool & freeze if you would like to. Once milk is added in the next step, it will NOT freeze well**
  • 4. Add basil, salt & pepper & milk. Heat 5 minutes & enjoy!
