Cream of Sun-Dried Tomato Soup image

A nice creamy soup. I make this in the summer when the tomatoes are really fresh from the Farmer's Market (canned is ok). The dried tomatoes add another depth to this soup.

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 celery ribs, chopped
2 medium carrots, chopped
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
4 cups chicken stock or 4 cups vegetable stock
4 cups chopped ripe tomatoes or 4 cups canned Italian tomatoes, drained

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large pot over moderate heat.

  • Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer covered for 20 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
  • Puree in a food processor, or blender, in small batches until smooth.

I'm not a huge fan of cream soups, but this one is an exception. It's light and flavorful, and the sun-dried tomatoes add a nice touch.
