Ingredients:
2 (14 oz) cans diced tomatoes (Muir Glen) {or use 6
med fresh tomatoes}
1 (6 oz.) can tomato paste (Muir Glen)
2 Tbsp. butter
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1 thinly sliced med. onion
2 Tbsp. whole wheat pastry flour {or any gluten free
flour}
1/2 C. fresh basil chopped or 2 tsp. dried
1 tsp. dried thyme
3 C. chicken stock
1 tsp. celtic sea salt
Pepper to taste
Directions:
In a large pot on med hi heat, melt butter and oild
together then saute the onions. When the onions are
tender, add the flour, stir into a paste and add the
tomatoes and tomato paste. Stir in the basil and thyme.
Then stir in the chicken stock and bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat and simmer for 30 to 40 minutes. Stir
in salt and pepper. Serve.
Variation:
If you use fresh tomatoes, you'll need to peel them and
cut them up into smallish peices. To peel tomatoes,
place your washed and clean tomatoes in boiling water
for 30 second to 1 minute. Then transfer each one into
very cold water. The peelings should have split a little, if
not just gently cut it with your fingernail. The peels
should slip right off, and you will need to remove the
stem at this time too.
After cutting the tomatoes into small peices, add them to
the soup as if you were adding the canned tomatoes,
you may want to slightly mash them up a little bit.
