Preparation

Nourishing Tomato Soup

Drop eight large, ripe tomatoes into a pot of boiling water for 30 seconds. Remove the tomatoes and peel them. Place the peeled tomatoes back into the pot. Add two cups of water, one tablespoon sugar, one teaspoon dill, and a pinch of salt to the tomatoes. Cover and simmer for 45 minutes. Sieve the simmered mixture into a bowl or container. Put sieved mixture back into the pot and place on low heat. Gently add four ounces of butter to the pot — sliver by sliver. Do not let the soup boil! Remove pot from the heat and SLOWLY add one pint of whipping cream. Stir until smooth. Reheat the soup on low. Again, do not boil.

Serve immediately with black pepper, chopped parsley and lots of croutons.

Helpful Hints

The most important hint while preparing this tomato soup is not to boil it, or it will curdle. Gentle it all the way through. For homemade tomato basil soup simply substitute 1 teaspoon basil for the dill.
