Creamy Tomato Bisque with Fresh Tomatoes
Ingredients
  • 2 pounds tomatoes
  • 2 cubes beef bouillon, crumbled
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 quart milk
Instructions
1
Process the tomatoes through a food mill to extract their pulp, discarding the seeds and skins in the process. Then, place the resulting mixture into a large pot over medium heat. Combine it with the bouillon, sugar, salt, bay leaf, basil, and pepper in a single action. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil before gradually reducing the heat and allowing it to simmer for 30 minutes.
2
If you intend to can this mixture, proceed with the canning process at this stage.
3
In a separate saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Immediately whisk in flour to form a smooth paste, cooking for 1 minute. Gradually pour in milk while continuously whisking the mixture to prevent lumps from forming. Continue cooking and stirring until the desired consistency is achieved.
