HERBED FRESH TOMATO SOUP
This recipe came from an old issue of Better Homes and Gardens. I've been making it for years, and it is a family favorite. I like to serve it with some grated cheese on top and/or a dollop of sour cream. The original recipe called for straining the soup after pureeing to remove the seeds. I skip this step, as I don't mind the seeds. This soup freezes well.

Steps:
- In a stockpot, over medium heat, combine the tomatoes, onion, cloves and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, and gently boil for about 20 minutes to blend all of the flavors. Remove from heat and run the mixture through a food mill into a large bowl, or pan. Discard any stuff left over in the food mill.
- In the now empty stockpot, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour to make a roux, cooking until the roux is a medium brown. Gradually whisk in a bit of the tomato mixture, so that no lumps form, then stir in the rest. Season with sugar and salt, and adjust to taste.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Gently toss together 2 tablespoons of the oil, the vinegar, thyme, garlic, tomatoes, red peppers and onions on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Arrange the tomatoes and red peppers skin-side up and bake until lightly charred, 45 to 50 minutes.
- Warm the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in a soup pot over medium-high heat. Stir in the tomato paste and mix well. Add the tomato and pepper mixture, including the juices, and combine. Stir in the stock; cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, about 20 minutes.
- Transfer the soup to a blender (or use an immersion blender) and pulse in small batches that reach only about one-third to halfway up the side of the jar. Be careful to start slow and then increase the speed to blitz the ingredients until smooth. Use a separate bowl to hold the blended soup, and then return it all to the pot.
- Heat the soup to warm through, and then ladle into serving bowls. Garnish with the basil and serve with the Herbed Flatbread.
- Roll the pizza dough out to about 1-inch thick. Sprinkle evenly with the herbs and roll into a log. Then knead 3 to 4 minutes to evenly incorporate the herbs. Reform the dough into a ball and place in a small bowl lightly coated with olive oil. Set aside to rest for 20 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter with the garlic and red onions. Remove from the heat and keep warm. Brush a baking sheet with oil. Roll the dough out to about 1/8-inch thickness and transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Brush about half the garlic butter on top.
- Remove the garlic and onions with a slotted spoon and scatter over the top. Bake until golden, about 25 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, brush with the remaining garlic butter and sprinkle with salt. Cut into 2 inch strips and serve.

Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes: This will give your soup the best flavor. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and have no blemishes.
- Roast the tomatoes before using them: Roasting the tomatoes concentrates their flavor and makes them sweeter. You can roast them in the oven or on the grill.
- Use a variety of herbs: This will give your soup a more complex flavor. Some good choices include basil, oregano, thyme, and rosemary.
- Don't overcook the soup: Overcooked soup will lose its flavor and become watery. Simmer it just until the vegetables are tender.
- Serve the soup with a dollop of crème fraîche or yogurt: This will add a creamy richness to the soup and help to balance out the acidity of the tomatoes.
Conclusion:
This herbed fresh tomato soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a summer meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover tomatoes. Serve it with a dollop of crème fraîche or yogurt and a crusty bread. You can also garnish it with fresh herbs, such as basil or oregano.
