Tomato and Dill Soup

"A soup that my husband says, "hits the spot!", from the Junior League cookbook, "Colorado Collage". I have used in this recipe, 3-14 ounce cans of broth, and then added 6 ounces of milk to equal the amount of 6 cups of broth, rather than open a fourth can of broth. It's a great soup, either way."

directions

  • In large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.
  • Add onion and garlic; cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Add about three-fourth of the diced tomatoes, and cook over high heat, 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Remove from heat and stir in flour.
  • Add tomato paste and gradually whisk in 2 cups of the chicken broth to avoid lumping.
  • Heat to boiling, stirring constantly.
  • Reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes.
  • Remove from heat, transfer in batches to blender or food processor, and puree.
  • Return to saucepan and stir in remaining 4 cups of chicken broth, half and half, white pepper, and dill.
  • Add remaining one-fourth tomatoes, and heat thoroughly, but do not boil.
  • Serve in cups or bowls--you may warm the bowls or cups first by pouring hot water briefly into them, if you wish.
  • You may garnish with sour cream, fresh dill sprigs, or soup crackers.

  1. This soup was so delicious. I loved the creamy tomato flavour. It surely hit the spot at our house! We grated a little fresh parmesan to top it off.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I love how cooking brings people together, whether it's sharing recipes or sharing a special meal. My sister and I love to talk recipes, and she is great at researching any recipe questions and hunting down recipes. My whole family enjoys cooking, so holidays are particularly fun when we're all cooking together. I teach social studies, and I incorporate historical recipes and foods into my lessons about culture. Cooking connects the past and present. I've realized how relaxing cooking is to me, so despite being very busy with teaching, I make time to cook.
