I'm kind of angry at how easy and tasty homemade tomato soup is

@wallhackio recipe. Give.

@The_T

• 2 cans tomatoes (whole peeled tomatoes is best, crushed tomatoes is also good)
• garlic (I used, like, 8 minced cloves? That's equivalent to 2.5-3 tbsp jarlic)
• 1 diced onion
• Any combination of oregano, basil, parsley, bay leaf, rosemary, dill. I used a large quantity of dill because that's what I had. It's hard to add too much of any of these unless its rosemary
• Salt, to taste
• Black pepper, to taste
• Red pepper flakes, to taste (I made it very spicy)
• 1/2 cup heavy cream

• 1 tbsp flour

• Add enough oil/butter/lard to the pot to cover the bottom. Add the onion and stir occasionally until the onion is translucent.

• Add the garlic and flour and stir for 30 seconds or so.

• Optionally add some water/wine/stock and scrape the flour + garlic from the bottom. Then add everything else.

• Bring to a boil.

• Cook for 15 minutes.

• Turn off the heat and stir in cream.

You can also use a stick blender, or an ordinary blender, after the final step to blend everything and give it a smooth consistency. Not doing that gives it a rougher texture that some find desirable.

@wallhackio the funniest thing is I actually have canned tomatoes (one can), half an onion, jarred garlic... but I'm using the prior two to make chili tonight. (My first time making it, just using a packet. I'm sure it'll turn out fine, I just intend to use it on chili dogs.)

@wallhackio also I don't have a blender......

@The_T you don't need one! you can just mash the soup with your soup or a potato masher if you want. or just leave it chunky
