Dug out my creamy tomato soup recipe
to have something warm to eat...
after Mr. b finished doing this...
He figured we got 10 inches of new snow. Thank goodness his snow blower could handle it because we sure saw a lot of Bobcats and tractors clearing our neighbors snow $$. It will be an expensive winter for some people if this keeps up.
This is a very good tomato soup recipe. It's hard to go back to opening a can. I have a better recipe for tomato soup but it isn't as quick and easy as this one.
Creamy Tomato Soup
Makes: 6 servings.Prep: 5 minutes. Cook: 24 minutes.
4 slices bacon
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cans (28 ounces each) whole tomatoes in juice
1 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1. Heat a large, deep pot over medium heat; add bacon and cook until barely crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove bacon and reserve; remove and discard all but 1 tablespoon of the drippings. Add garlic and cook, stirring, over medium heat, 1 minute. Add tomatoes and their juice, breaking up tomato pieces with your hands or a wooden spoon. Add broth, sugar and black pepper; bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes with cover ajar.
2. Puree soup in batches in a blender or food processor. Return to pot, stir in cream until incorporated and heat through, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in vinegar. Serve, garnished with crumbled bacon.
