List of Ingredients




3 tablespoons butter
1 large yellow onion
1/2 rib celery
3 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 cans (16 ounces each) diced tomatoes (or 3 large fresh tomatoes, diced)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil (or 1 tablespoon dried basil)
2 cans (16 ounces each) tomato puree
1 (16-ounce) can beef stock
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1 bay leaf
Salt and pepper to taste



Recipe



Heat the butter in a large stockpot. Dice the onion and celery, and add to
the pot. Saute until the onion is transparent.

Sprinkle the flour over the onion 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring each one
in thoroughly with a large spoon until a paste forms.

Add the garlic, diced tomatoes and basil, and stir. Slowly stir in the
tomato puree and beef stock, then the whipping cream. The soup should be a
rose color. Add the bay leaf and simmer on low for about an hour.

Remove the bay leaf before serving. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
