CREAM OF TOMATO SOUP
Easy, yummy way to make Cream of Tomato soup. I use home canned tomatoes and stewed tomatoes, but store-bought is fine. Don't use margarine - the water in it can make the roux lumpy. If you don't have stewed tomatoes, you can use 4 cans of diced tomatoes and sauté ½ cup of minced onion in the butter until tender before adding flour.

Steps:
- Place a strainer over a large measuring cup. Drain and SAVE the juice from both stewed and diced tomatoes. Press down on the tomatoes with the back of a spoon to drain more juice. Measure 3 cups juice, discard excess or save for another use. (Bloody Mary anyone?) Set aside both juice and tomatoes.
- Melt the butter in a large pot, sprinkle in the flour; stir and cook 1 minute. Add the brown sugar, tomato paste and allspice; stir.
- Whisk in the chicken broth gradually; then add the reserved tomato juice and both kinds of tomatoes.
- Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Reduce to a simmer and cook 10 minutes.
- Puree with an immersion blender, food processor or blender. Don't fill more than halfway if using a food processor or blender and cover with a kitchen towel before turning it on. Leave as chunky as you like and call it a bisque or puree smooth for cream soup.
- Pour through a strainer into the same pot.
- Heat cream/milk in microwave until steaming, stir into soup. Heating the cream/milk helps keep it from curdling.
- Bring back to simmer. Do not boil after adding cream/milk - it will curdle. Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper, more cream/milk or more sugar if desired.
- Pureeing tomato seeds can make the soup a little bitter; adding a little more brown sugar will remove the bitterness.

ULTIMATE CREAM OF TOMATO SOUP
Hard to believe this delicious soup is made with canned tomatoes! Besure to use whole tomatoes packed in juice, not puree; you'll need some of the juice for the soup. DO NOT SKIP the roasting of the tomatoes; a little more effort, but worth it! Recipe comes from Cook's Illustrated with a slight modification.

Tips:
- Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes: This will give your soup the best flavor. If fresh tomatoes are not available, you can use canned diced tomatoes or crushed tomatoes.
- Roast the tomatoes before cooking: Roasting the tomatoes will intensify their flavor and make them sweeter. You can roast the tomatoes in the oven or on a grill.
- Use a good quality vegetable broth: The vegetable broth is the base of your soup, so it's important to use a good one. Look for a vegetable broth that is low in sodium and has a rich flavor.
- Add some fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil, oregano, and thyme, can add a lot of flavor to your soup. Add them at the end of cooking to preserve their flavor.
- Serve with a dollop of sour cream or crème fraîche: This will add a bit of richness and creaminess to your soup. You can also serve it with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.
