Tomato Soup

Prep Time
30 minutes (maybe a little longer)
Cook Time
30 minutes
Ready in
1 hour (plus a little)
Yields
approximately 8 (depends on how much you eat!)

Ingredients
1 onion, chopped
3 T butter
dash olive oil
salt and pepper
basil
4 T flour
1 C broth (I use water and a boullion cube)
3 cans (15 oz) stewed tomatoes (puree 1-2 cans)
1 C milk
1 pt cream

Directions
Saute chopped onion with butter, olive oil, basil, and then salt and pepper to taste. Set to the side. Puree 1-2 cans of stewed tomatoes, then combine with remaining tomatoes, milk, and cream. Add cooked onions to the mix. Set to the side. Slowly combine flour and the broth. Add to tomato/onion mixture. Simmer 30 minutes. Garnish with croutons and parmesan cheese. Goes wonderfully in bread bowls.

Side note: Depending on your families enjoyment of "chunky" foods, you may want to either buy diced stewed tomatoes, or cut the stewed tomatoes into smaller pieces.
