"This is the BEST TOMATO SOUP ever!! (I actually do not like tomato soup.) I used this recipe the year we had a bumper crop of tomatoes. I lost the recipe and finally found it after a four-yr. search. It is from Taste Of Home. YUMMY!"

ingredients

4 cups de-skinned chopped tomatoes (core them too)
1 cup chopped celery
1 small onion (chopped or diced-to your taste)
2 cups carrots (diced or sliced)
4 teaspoons sugar
¹⁄₂ cup chopped bell pepper (yuck-I omit these)
¹⁄₂ teaspoon curry powder (your call)
4 ¹⁄₂ cups chicken broth (I use chick. bullion cubes-5 of them for 4. c. water)
¹⁄₄ cup flour (I guess cornstarch would work, but it will thicken up more and be shiny.)
salt and pepper, to taste- i use seasoned salt and garlic powder also

directions

Sautee carrots, onion,celery and peppers in butter. I start carrots first, as they take a bit longer. I would say 3-4 minutes if you diced carrots. If you sliced carrots, give them about 2-4 minutes extra time, then add the rest of the veggies. In this recipe, undercooking is fine. You can always nuke the soup.
Add 4.C chick. broth, tomatoes, and seasonings.
Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes Cool.
Use the remaining 1/4 C chick. broth and flour to make a thin paste and stir into cooled mixture. Cook on med. heat until the mixture thickens.
I add more butter and eat it all myself.

Hi Everyone! After having a kitchen w/ 48" of counter space and a re-model project resulting in 6' of counter space for left-handed me, cooking is even more fun. I am always searching for new twists on recipies. I despise recipies that have three or more ingredients that I have never heard of/nor that I could use in another recipe. My DH (at times) and I have three she-wolves. Two of them have moved to their own dens. The last one was a surprise and is allowed to burrow here. A 17 -year span makes a difference in parenting. W/ our first child, eating cat food would result in an emergency room visit. W/ the last, well, I guess the cat had better not be hungry! CC
