Cream of Tomato Soup and a grilled cheese sandwich. This is what some would label as the perfect meal. I love a good bowl of Cream of Tomato Soup, but I like it homemade.
With my basket of tomatoes, I went to the food processor and pureed 3 large one. Here is where you can fix it to your liking. You can get rid of the skin and seeds, if you wish. You can also used canned tomatoes, if you find them on sale or tomatoes are out of season and pricey. It also might be better if you use cream instead of milk, but I didn't have any. In a pot, I put in 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of flour, and stirred that around. Then I added the pureed tomatoes. When it started to boil, I simmered it, just for a few minutes. Then turn the stove down and add enough milk to make it the thickness you desire. Stir. When heated through, it's done. If it's still chunky and you want it creamier, puree in the food processor again. Be careful since it's hot.
Cream of Tomato Soup
3 large tomatoes, pureed
2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons oil
1 cup of milk
Put flour and oil into pot, and stir for a minute, then add pureed tomatoes. Let come to a boil, stirring every few minutes. Add desired amount of milk so that it's the thickness you want. Heat through.
This I ate for a few lunches with a side of grilled cheese. My daughter said, "Can't we eat anything out of a can?"
