Recipe Summary Jersey Fresh Tomato Soup

New Jersey is a well-known producer of tomatoes. Having our own garden leaves us with an abundance at the end of the season. Not wanting the tomatoes to go to waste, Hubby and I came up with our favorite version of tomato soup.

Ingredients | Easy Soup Recipes Vegetarian

7 cups peeled, seeded, and chopped tomatoes

1 cup finely chopped carrots

¾ cup finely chopped onion

1 (13.75 ounce) can chicken broth

1 tablespoon white sugar

2 teaspoons sea salt

3 tablespoons butter

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 cup 2% milk

2 teaspoons dried basil

½ teaspoon celery salt

½ teaspoon ground black pepper

¼ teaspoon garlic powder

Directions

Bring the tomatoes, carrots, and onion to a boil over medium-high heat in a stockpot, then reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 30 minutes. Stir in the chicken broth, sugar, and salt.

Melt the butter over medium-low heat in a small saucepan. Whisk in the flour, stirring until thick. Slowly whisk in the milk until smooth. Cook and stir, whisking constantly until thickened, about 5 minutes, then stir milk mixture in to the stockpot. Season with basil, celery salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Continue to simmer the soup on low to reduce and thicken, about 1 hour.

A food processor can be used to finely chop the carrots and onion. An immersion blender can be used for a smooth texture.
