If you have tons of tomatoes from your garden and/or other veggies like I do, here is a fantastic soup recipe. I had it last week at a meeting, and my friend Cindy was kind enough to pass the recipe along.
This is a pretty basic soup recipe that can be modified to your tastes. Cindy's husband put in a bunch of fresh herbs including basil, oregano, thyme, and french tarragon. I just put in fresh basil and dried thyme and it was still delicious. I also had this huge eggplant that I didn't know what to do with, so I chopped it up and threw that in also.
Herbed Tomato Vegetable Soup
1/3 c. chopped onion
1 Tbsp. oil
4 cups tomatoes, peeled and chopped
1 cup carrots, chopped
1 Tbsp. instant chicken boullion granules
1 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. basil
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. dried thyme
1/4 tsp. dried savory
1/8 tsp. pepper
In a large saucepan, cook onion in oil until tender but not brown. Stir in the rest of the ingredients. If you want a thinner soup, add some water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer about 40 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
