Tomato Soup

Another tasty recipe supplied by my sister-in-law.  This is also another one that freezes well for lunches.  It calls to be pureed but the consistency level is up to you.  We prefer a soup with some chunks.

4 cups tomatoes

1 onion

2 carrots

1 green pepper

3 cloves of garlic

Basil

Salt and pepper

3 cups tomato juice

1 cup chicken broth

1.      Saute all the vegetables.

2.      Combine all ingredients and allow soup to simmer over numerous hours.

3.      Puree soup with hand mixer to desired consistency.
