Delicious soup!

Perfect tomato soup for a cold winters day!


2 tablespoons olive oil
onion, chopped 
clove garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 
28-oz. can crushed tomatoes, with juice
1 1/2 chicken stock
1/2 cup heavy cream, warmed 
Salt and pepper



Warm oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring often, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until slightly softened and fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in flour to blend, about 1 minute.

Add tomatoes with juice and broth to saucepan, increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Stir or whisk constantly until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes.
Working in batches, carefully transfer soup to a blender and puree until smooth. Pour into a bowl until all soup is pureed. Return soup to saucepan, stir in cream and cook over low heat for 3 to 5 minutes, until heated through. Do not boil. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot in warmed cups.

See ya,
Mrs Potts

  1. Looks tasty but I have a question!
    What on earth is 'low sodium' chicken soup?
    Or is it low sodium chicken, that's been made into soup?

    Any way, will it say 'low sodium' on the tin?
    Will a higher level of sodium in my chicken spoil things?
