Blender Tomato Soup

My cousin gave me this recipe soon after I was married & I have made it many times. I love creamy tomato soup with grilled cheese sandwiches on a cold winter/fall day.

2 1/2 C tomatoes (raw or canned juice)
2 T flour
1 T sugar
1 1/2 tsp chopped onion
1/8 tsp pepper
2 T soft butter
1 tsp salt
dash of garlic powder

Heat 2 1/2 C milk in a kettle. Put all the above ingredients in a blender and process until smooth. Add tomato mixture to heated milk and stir. Serve immediately.
Makes about 5 servings.

Broccoli Cheese Soup



I made this soup for supper last night & everyone loved it. I was surprised that the children liked it so well. It was all & they were still wanting more. :)

2 T chopped onion
2 T melted butter
3 T flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
2 C milk
1 C grated white American cheese

2 chicken bouillon cubes added to boiling water to make 2 cups
10 oz. frozen or fresh broccoli

Cook onion and butter until onion is soft. Blend in flour, salt & pepper. Add milk. Heat to boiling. Cook until thick, stirring constantly. Add cheese, stir until melted. In another pan, add bouillon cubes to 2 cups boiling water, add broccoli. Cook until tender. Add broccoli and liquid to cheese mixture. Yield: 5 1/2 cups
NOTE: Broccoli can be processed in blender before adding to soup mixture. (I just chopped it with my food chopper)
