Simple Tomato Soup With Dill (No Basil!) image

I found this recipe at allrecipes.com when I was looking to re-create a tomato soup I had in a little cafe. The only thing that I remembered about it was that it did not contain any cream or basil but had a hint of dill. Since I love tomato soup in the winter when I have no fresh basil in the garden... I always turn to this simple recipe. This was submitted by "Zale" on allrecipes.com and I have tweaked it just slightly. Hope you enjoy this soup as much as we do... Hint: it's great with a grilled cheese sandwich!!!

Time 55m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon butter
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 onion, chopped
1 (28 ounce) can peeled and diced tomatoes
1/2-3/4 teaspoon dried dill weed
1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
1/4 teaspoon pepper
10 ounces water
1 teaspoon chicken base (Better Than Bouillon)
1 bay leaf
sour cream (optional)

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring until tender.
  • Stir in the tomatoes, water, chicken base, and season with dill weed, pepper, bay leaf and optional salt.
  • Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer gently for 45 minutes.
  • Remove from heat, and discard bay leaf.
  • Use a food processor or hand blender to puree the soup in small batches until smooth.
  • Serve immediately with a dollop of sour cream.
  • You could chill it and serve it cold, but I have never had any leftovers to try it this way!
