Basic Fresh Tomato Soup
Ingredients:

* 4 pounds ripe tomatoes (any red, yellow, or orange varieties)
* 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
* 1 small onion
* 1 cup chicken broth
* 2 pinches garlic powder
* Salt to taste
* Freshly snipped chives or other herbs for garnish, optional

Method:

Makes 4-6 servings

Immerse washed tomatoes in a large soup pot of boiling water for 45-60 seconds, until the skins start to split. Transfer tomatoes to a colander and discard the hot water.

While tomatoes are cooling, rinse the pot thoroughly and return to the stove; add oil and heat on medium-high. Saute the onion until it turns translucent. Remove pot from heat.

Remove the skins, cores, and as many seeds as possible from the tomatoes. Crush tomatoes with your hands over the soup pot and add them to the onion. Add chicken broth and garlic powder. Bring to a slow boil over medium heat, stirring frequently. Simmer soup covered for 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Taste and adjust with salt then remove from heat. Serve the soup as is, or puree it. Garnish with chives or other herbs if desired.
