Tomato Vegetable Soup

Tomato Vegetable soup recipe, served and enjoyed at the SHA convention, from member Beth Graas. We hope you enjoy!

Tomato Vegetable Soup 3 tbsp. butter 1 cup diced onion 1/2 cup diced potato 1/2 cup diced carrot 3 Tbsp. flour 1/2 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. pepper 2 cup chicken stock 14 oz. canned tomatoes crushed 1 tsp. sugar 1/2 cup cream or top milk Put butter, onion, potato, and carrot in saucepan. Saute until onion and carrot are soft and clear. Mix in flour, salt, pepper. Add chicken stock (slowly). Stir until it boils and thickens. Simmer 10 minutes. Add tomatoes and sugar. Heat through. Stir in cream. DO NOT BOIL after adding cream. Makes about 4 cups. I do not use the cream as I find it "creamy" enough without. Does give it a different flavour though. I do not use canned tomatoes - just cook the fresh ones from the garden until they are the consistency I want them and add to the soup when required.
