Creamy Tomato Soup
My absolute favorite tomato sauce recipe is the lovely Marcella Hazen’s version. It is as simple as can be—tomatoes, butter, and a quartered onion all simmered together to make magic. I have also made it with olive oil and it is a delicious vegan substitute. This soup is based on that sauce with potatoes and carrots to make it creamy, and honey to round out the acidity of the tomatoes. Add whatever herbs you have on hand—basil and dill are two of my favorites, but if there are others you prefer, go for it. Parmesan Crisps (p. 120) are awesome with this soup.
