| 2 | cups | chopped ripe tomatoes | | 1 | medium | onion sliced | | 1/2 | tsp | salt | | 1/8 | tsp | pepper | | 2 | tbs | butter | | 2 | tbs | flour | | 2 | cups | milk | | | sprinkle | oregano | | | sprinkle | basil | | | | sugar to taste |
| directions | Simmer tomatoes with onion, salt and pepper for about 10 minutes.
Melt butter and stir in flour. Add milk and cook stirring constantly, until thickened. Slowly stir in hot tomatoes. Sprinkle with herbs. Sugar to taste.
I use either fresh tomatoes or the ones I have frozen. They both work well. I do not strain the tomatoes. I want little pieces of tomato in my soup. I make the white sauce and pour into the tomatoes. I add enough sugar to take the tartness off of the tomatoes. I add a little oregano and basil to taste. Tasting this soup is the only way to make sure it is how you want it. |
