Default Tomato Soup?

Does anyone have a good reciepe for tomato soup?


You mean a smooth soup a la Campbell's canned? Try this:

Put a little olive oil in a wide, shallow pan. Saute some diced
celery, onion, & carrot until soft but not browned -- garlic as
desired. Add coarsely chopped tomatoes and cook for a couple of
minutes until the skins show signs of separating. Put all this through
a food mill and into a regular pot. Discard solids (skin, seeds, etc.)
Season puree with S&P. You can now reduce this mixture a bit and then
add chicken or veg broth (leave out salt if using commercial
products), milk, or cream to the desired consistency.

The food mill part is handy because you don't have to peel and de-seed
the tomatoes before cooking.
