Categories : Soups And Stews Silver Palate

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

70 ounces plum tomatoes with their juice -- (2-35 ounce cans)
2 carrots -- thinly sliced
2 onions -- thinly sliced
2 T. olive oil
6 cloves garlic -- chopped
grating of nutmeg (1/4 tsp.)
1/4 cup torn fresh basil leaves
1 pinch oregano
4 cups chicken broth (I used 1 can vegetable broth and 2 cups water)
2 T. sugar
salt and pepper -- to taste
2 cups cream or half-and-half

Saute onions, carrots, and garlic in the olive oil, until limp, about 10 minutes. Add remaining ingredients, except cream. Bring to a boil. Turn heat down and cover slightly, simmer for 50 minutes. Puree the soup in a blender (be very careful to not put too much soup in blender at one time, so it doesn't explode throughout your kitchen!!!) Put back in soup pot. Add the cream or half- and-half, heat through. Adjust seasonings. Serve with a salad and warm French bread. It's wonderful and very rich.
