Description:
This is a most delicious tomato soup. I prefer to use fresh tomatoes but you may use canned if you prefer. I like to make a country loaf of gluten free bread to serve with this but a chive and goat cheese corn bread or French bread would work as well.
Ingredients:
3c fresh tomatoes peeled and chopped
or 1 28oz can whole tomatoes undrained
2 slices of GF bacon finely chopped
1 small onion finely chopped
1 medium carrot grated
2c chicken broth or water
¼ tsp paprika
? tsp pepper
4 tsp cornstarch
1 Tbsp water
Directions:
Finely chop tomatoes and set aside. Chop onion and set aside. Grate carrot and set aside. Chop the bacon and place in a medium size pot. Brown the bacon. Drain fat reserving 1 Tbsp of the bacon fat in the pot. Sauté the onion with the browned bacon 3 – 4 minutes. Add carrots. tomatoes (plus liquid if using canned) and broth. Stir. Bring to a boil. Add seasonings. Simmer 10 minutes.
Combine cornstarch and water into a smooth paste. Add to soup stirring constantly until thickened. Adjust for salt and pepper to taste.
Serve with fresh bread of your choice.
