Yields:  2 large servings or 4 with small servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 white onion, thinly sliced 
  • 2 large garlic cloves, peeled and crushed  
  • 4 cups chopped fresh tomatoes
  • 2 cups water or vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste 
  • garnish with fresh basil, cilantro, oregano or parsley

Instructions

  1. In a frying pan, over medium heat, combine the olive oil and onion slices. Cook the onions until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes, reducing the heat if necessary to avoid browning.
  2. Add garlic, tomato, 1 ½ cups of the water/broth to the onions and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer gently for about 20 minutes.
  3. Add the remaining water/broth (1/2 cup) to a small bowl or measuring cup. Stir the flour into the liquid using a fork or a small whisk to make a roux. Set aside.
  4. Transfer the tomato/onion mixture to a food processor or high speed blender. Blend until smooth. Return blended soup to the frying pan. Add the flour mixture to the soup and bring the mixture to medium heat and stir with the whisk or fork to thicken the soup. Season with salt, maple syrup, pepper and fresh herbs of your choice.
