This is our favorite beefsteak tomato soup. New Jersey is a well-known producer of tomatoes, and having our own garden leaves us with an abundance at the end of the season. Hubby and I came up with this tasty recipe to use some of them.

Ingredients

7 cups peeled, seeded, and chopped tomatoes
1 cup finely chopped carrots
¾ cup finely chopped onion
1 (13.75 ounce) can chicken broth
1 tablespoon white sugar
2 teaspoons sea salt
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup 2% milk
2 teaspoons dried basil
½ teaspoon celery salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon garlic powder

Directions

Place tomatoes, carrots, and onion in a stockpot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 30 minutes. Stir in chicken broth, sugar, and salt.
Melt butter over medium-low heat in a small saucepan. Whisk in flour to form a thick paste; gradually add milk, whisking continuously until thickened and smooth, about 5 minutes.
Stir milk mixture into the stockpot. Season with basil, celery salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Continue to simmer the soup on low to reduce and thicken, about 1 hour.

Tips

A food processor can be used to finely chop the carrots and onion. An immersion blender can be used for a smooth texture.
