Simple Tomato Soup

I must admit, I love tomato soup year round. I know some people say this is a winter dish, but I am addicted to a wide variety of Tomato Soup recipes. Here is but one…the easiest of them all.

Ingredients

1 quart tomato juice (I like home-canned)

2-3 tablespoons honey (cuts the acid of the tomato)

1-2 tablespoons flour (optional)

The fun part

1. Dump the tomato juice in to a saucepan.

2. Bring to boil and then reduce heat to simmer.

3. Slowly add honey one tablespoon at a time. I recommend tasting as you go.

4. Allow to simmer as long as you can possibly stand (at least 20-30 minutes though), stirring occasionally. If your juice was very thin to start with, be sure to whip up the flour with a little water and slowly whisk it in to help it thicken. Like I said, I use the juice my mom cans for me, which means it is not consistent!

5. Double check the honey content. If the acid of the tomato is still too strong add another tablespoon of honey. Repeat until it is how you like it.

6. Serve it up! My husband couldn’t believe I made this. He wanted a straw to suck it up. Or maybe that was my son. Ha ha!
