How to make tomato soup

Gather your ingredients.

Chop onion. Set aside.

Chop garlic. Set aside.

Warm oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat.

Add your chopped onion. Stir often, until onion is softened.

Add garlic and cook until slightly softened and fragrant, about 1 minute.

Stir in flour to blend, about 1 minute.

Add tomatoes and chicken broth to saucepan. Turn the burner to high and bring to a boil. Stir constantly until thickened. It takes a few minutes.

Carefully transfer soup to a blender or bowl and puree until smooth. We used an emulsifier to blend.

Return soup to saucepan. Stir in the heavy cream and cook over low heat for 3 to 5 minutes, until heated all the way through.

Season with salt and pepper and add croutons for texture. Enjoy! Recipe inspired by: http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/creamy-tomato-soup-2
