How to Make Tomato Soup

STEP ONE: Using a high speed blender, lightly puree the tomatoes. Begin by adding half of the tomatoes to the blender then as they go down during the blending process, add the remaining tomatoes. Set aside.

STEP FOUR: Bring to a boil then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes.

STEP FIVE: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.

STEP SIX: Add the flour, whisking until combined.

 STEP SEVEN: Pour in the milk and continue whisking until the consistency is smooth. 

STEP EIGHT: Add the milk/flour mixture into the soup pot with the vegetables.

STEP NINE: Stir in the vegetable broth, basil, sugar, sea salt, black pepper, celery salt, and garlic powder.

STEP TEN: Simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
