Tomato Bisque 2 cups of fresh tomatoes, chopped fine 2 stalks of finely chopped celery 1/4 cup finely chopped onion 1/4 to 1/2 tsp. basil (I like to rub the basil in the palm of my hand to bring out the flavour) 2 Tablespoons honey 1 cup vegetable stock or water 1/4 cup butter or margarine 3 Tablespoons flour 3 cups milk Combine tomatoes, celery, onion, basil, and honey with vegetable stock or water in a soup pot. Simmer for 20 to 25 minutes. Push mixture through a sieve (it helps to put it in a blender first or use an immersion blender). Set aside and melt butter or margarine in a saucepan. Add flour and blend until smooth. Add 2 cups milk slowly and stir until thickened. Combine with tomato mixture. Stir over low heat, adding last cup of milk. Do not boil. Season to taste. Serves 4 to 5.
