2 tablespoons butter, oil or chicken fat (skimmed off the top of homemade chicken stock)
6 cups tomatoes, coarsely chopped
1 1/2 cups chicken stock (for a vegetarian version, use vegetable broth)
1 teaspoon salt (or more, to taste)
1 - 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup carrots, chopped and steamed
1/4 cup orange vegetable puree .sweet potato, carrot, squash, etc
1/4 -1/2 cup onion, diced
Instructions
Saute onions in butter for 2 minutes
Place onions, tomatoes and stock in a crockpot
Cover, and let it cook on low for 5-8 hours
Add optional carrots or puree
Puree tomatoes with cream, using an immersion blender or a regular blender (if using a regular blender, puree it 2-3 cups at a time – hot liquids expand in a blender and will make a big mess if you fill it too far… ask me how I know)
Stir in salt. Taste, and add more salt if needed
Serve hot, and garnish as desired
