Ingredients (serves 6-7)
5 tablespoons butter
½ cup chopped onion
4 tablespoons flour
4 cups milk
½ bay leaf
1 ½ teaspoons sugar
1 ½ teaspoons salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
3 cups tomatoes, chopped (fresh or canned)
Melt the butter in a soup pot. Add the onion and
cook over medium heat, stirring, until the onion is softened but not
browned. Sprinkle the flour over the butter mixture and continue to
stir and cook for 1 to 2 minutes.
Slowly add the milk, bay leaf, sugar, and salt
and continue to cook and stir until slightly thickened.
Stir the baking soda into the tomatoes. Add the tomatoes to the
milk, and bring just to a simmer. Remove from the heat and put
through a strainer. Taste and correct seasonings. Reheat before
serving.
