It’s that glorious time of year again! Time to whip out the soup pans, soup bowls, and soda crackers. Most people put on weight during the cooler months, but it’s a cycle that can be broken by eating the right sorts of cool weather foods - like soup. It fills you up on a fraction of the calories, and if it has a tomato base, you’re doing your heart a world of good!
Fresh Tomato Soup
2 Tbs. olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped celery
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 Tbs. all-purpose flour
2 cups canned tomatoes, or fresh (skinned and seeded)
Pinch sugar
1 3/4 cups beef broth
Dash salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tsp dried oregano (crumbled)
Heat the oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add next three ingredients and saute’ for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add flour; stir the mixture for 2 minutes.
Slowly add the tomatoes and their liquid, breaking up tomatoes slightly as you stir. Add sugar and bring to a boil.
Slowly add broth and bring to a second boil. Add salt, pepper and oregano.
Serves 6.
Make someone smile today,
