honeymonsterTuesday I made tomato soup. Here is a photo and a recipe.
1 tablespoon butter
1 medium onion, sliced
6 cups tomatoes (original recipe said canned chopped. I used boxed strained.)
salt
1 cup heavy cream (optional)
1/2 cup narrow strips of basil (optional)
Melt butter in a saucepan and turn the heat off. Chop the onion, add it to the pan, and turn the burner back on to medium. Cook the onion, stirring occasionally, for 7 minutes.
Stir the tomatoes into the cooked onions and bring the mixture to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Puree the mixture with an immersion blender or use a regular blender.
If you're using the cream or basil, add them now. Taste the soup and add salt if you think it needs it.
I didn't use cream, and we didn't have fresh basil. I added a little dried basil and a bit of salt.
This soup tastes really sweet at first, but as it cools the colors blend and it tastes even better.
My stepmother didn't like it.
Note that this recipe has no gluten! Also you can use olive oil instead of butter if you have a thing.
