TOMATO DILL SOUP

Tomato Dill Soup image

This soup is very fresh and light tasting. I've always served it warm, but I imagine it would be nice as a chilled soup on a warm day, too. Substitute vegetable broth for the chicken broth and this is a lovely vegetarian soup.

2 teaspoons minced garlic cloves
1 teaspoon basil
1 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon tarragon (optional)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth, for a vegetarian meal)
1 (35 ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice
2 1/2 cups tomato juice (I used V-8)
1 cup heavy cream or 1 cup whipping cream

1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped

Steps:

Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat.
Add onions, carrots and celery and cook until softened, 8 to 10 minutes.
