[Artemisia] Looking for Italian Soup recipes

[Jeanne Warr]

Okay Tamar -- here you go
Tomato Bisque Soup
 
8 cloves of
garlic, crushed     
¼ to ½  lb. butter   
               
             
4 tsp. dill
seed             
2 TB. dill
weed                                    
2 TB.
oregano
1/3 cup
honey                         
6 TB.
Flour  (use cornstarch for gluten free)        
4 cups
heavy cream               
2 cups half
& half        
3 29-oz cans tomatoes, diced  ( I always add more cause I like it chunky)      
½ bunch
parsley, chopped   You can use dried if you want too)  
12 cups
chicken broth (6 small cans or 2 large cans)
3 8-oz containers sour cream (for garnish only)
black
pepper, to taste
 
 
1.      In a large pot, sauté garlic in
plenty of butter along with dill seed, dill weed and oregano for 5-10
minutes.  Add tomatoes & chicken
stock and let simmer.
2.      In a separate pan make a roux by
blending equal amounts of butter & flour over medium heat, stirring
constantly for about 3 minutes without browning.
3.      Add roux to stock and stir.  Add pepper to taste.  Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.  Reduce heat and let simmer for 30 minutes.
4.      Add parsley, honey, cream, and half
& half.  Taste for seasoning.  Reheat soup, but do not heat to a boil.  Serve
with a dollop of sour cream.

Enjoy!!  It freezes nicely too, you just have too let it thaw naturally and not by hot water or microwave.

Hi Sheelaegh,

I'm definitely interested. Half the fun of a recipe is learning about 
people's experiences with it, and what other food they like to serve it 
with.

Thanks!
