Mmmm, Mmmm Good!

Outside it's cold and rainy, but inside I still have loads of summer-fresh tomatoes. What sounds good? Here's a solution that's more delicious than any canned soup.

FRESH TOMATO SOUP

1 1/2 cups chicken broth

4 medium tomatoes, peeled* and quartered

1/2 chopped onion

1/2 tsp dried basil

Cook 15 minutes, then puree in blender.

Make a white sauce: 2 Tbs butter melted with 2 Tbs flour. Stir together, then slowly add 1 cup milk, stirring to prevent lumps. Add vegetable mixture to white sauce, then heat (don't boil). Enjoy!

*If you have a tough blender, there is really no need to peel. My Vita Mix can puree tomatoes--peel and all.
