CREAMY TOMATO MINT SOUP
Although tomatoes and aromatic herbs always complement each other, tender sprigs of fresh mint seem to have a special affinity for tomatoes. In this soup the mint is a sprightly highlight that serves as a refreshing foil to the richness of the cream. Other fresh herbs, such as thyme or basil, can be substituted and the soup will still be very tasty, but you really owe it to yourself to make this recipe with mint at least once. As for the tomatoes, if it's summertime choose the ripest, freshest ones you can find (a pinch of sugar will bring out their natural sweetness); at other times of the year canned will do just fine. Serve with a basket of hot garlic bread and a tossed vegetable salad.

Steps:
- 1. Melt the butter in a medium-large, non reactive stockpot over low heat. Add the onion and garlic and sweat, stirring occasionally, until translucent but not browned, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- 2. Add the flour and cook, stirring, until the mixture develops a nutty aroma, about 10 minutes. Be careful not to let the flour brown.
- 3. Add the tomatoes, breaking them up against the side of the pot with a wooden spoon if they're canned. Add the stock, tomato paste, and mint and increase the heat to high. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to maintain a steady simmer. Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes are very soft, about 30 minutes.
- 4. Pour the soup into a colander set over a second pot. Pass the tomatoes through a food mill and return them to the stock in a pot. Stir to blend the soup.
- 5. Whisk in the cream, then simmer, uncovered, whisking frequently, until the soup is well flavored and slightly thickened, about 15 minutes. Season with salt, pepper and a pinch of sugar to highlight the sweetness of the tomatoes, if desired. Serve piping hot.
Tips
- Use ripe tomatoes: The riper the tomatoes, the sweeter and more flavorful your soup will be.
- Roast your tomatoes: Roasting tomatoes intensifies their flavor and gives them a smoky, caramelized taste.
- Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of your soup, so be sure to use a good quality one. Homemade is always best, but if you're short on time, you can use a store-bought broth.
- Don't overcook the soup: Overcooked soup will lose its flavor and become watery. Simmer it just until the tomatoes are soft and the soup is heated through.
- Season to taste: Every palate is different, so be sure to season the soup to your liking. Add salt, pepper, and other spices until the soup reaches the desired flavor.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs add a pop of color and flavor to your soup. Try garnishing it with basil, oregano, or thyme.
