Summer Tomato Soup

Serves:4

Nothing beats the taste of fresh tomatoes, straight from the garden. Capture that flavour in this take on a traditional recipe.

Ingredients:

2 Tbsp virgin olive oil
2 large yellow onions, chopped
1/4 Cup flour
3 Cups peeled, chopped and seeded tomatoes (1 1/2 Lbs or 28 ounce can)
2 Cups chicken stock
1 Tsp salt
1/4 Tsp fresh ground black pepper
1/4 Tsp allspice
1 1/2 Cups orange juice
1 Tbsp orange zest
1/4 Cup heavy cream (whipping cream)
2 strips bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled

Method:

Saute onions and garlic in oil until soft. Blend in flour and cook 3-5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, stock, spices and bring to a high simmer. Simmer until thick, about 10 minutes. Stir constantly to prevent burning. Cool slightly then process in a blender or food processor until smooth. Stir in the orange juice, zest and cream then chill for 4 hours. Ladle into bowls and top with crumbled bacon.
