Fresh Tomato Soup

Ingredients

• 4 cups chopped fresh tomatoes
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 4 cloves garlic
• 1 slice onion
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons white sugar, or to taste
• 1 teaspoon salt

Method

1. Gather all ingredients before starting.
2. In a stockpot, combine the tomatoes, chicken broth, garlic, and onion slice. Bring to a boil, then simmer 15-20 minutes to blend flavors.
3. Remove from heat and pass the mixture through a food mill into a bowl, discarding the solids left behind.
4. In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat, then whisk in the flour to make a roux, cooking until it turns medium brown.
5. Slowly whisk in some of the tomato mixture to avoid lumps, then stir in the remaining liquid.
6. Season with sugar and salt to taste.
7. Serve hot.
