Does anyone have a good reciepe for tomato soup?



Here's the recipe we like. From Jacques Pepin's Kitchen: Cooking with
Claudine more or less......

Tomato Potage

1T olive oil
1 medium onion, peeled and quartered
1 T flour
1 1/2 C water
2 lbs. tomatoes, quartered
1 clove garlic
1 - 4" sprig thyme
1 t sugar
1/2 t pepper
3/4 t salt
2 T butter

Heat oil in saucepan. Add onion and saute for a couple of minutes. Add
flour and cook for 1 minute. Stir in water and mix well.

Add remaining ingredients through the salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce
heat, cover and simmer for 15 minutes.

Strain mixture by putting it through a food mill. Alternatively - puree
in a food processor and then push through a strainer to remove skin and
seeds.

Stir in butter and whisk to incorporate.

Yield - 6 cups
