Yellow Tomato Soup




Book: Steve's Diabetic Recipe Book ll
Chapter: soups
Serves: 8
Inspired by recipe from Sia's in Norcross GA
2 1/2 cups chopped onions
6 slices bacon
2 pounds rough chopped yellow tomatoes
2 tablespoons garlic, smashed
1 1/2 cup white wine
1 49 1/2-ounce can "Swanson's Broth: Chicken 1/3 Less Sodium, No Fat"
1 teaspoon minced, canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
1 tablespoon mexican oregano
1 pint cream
In a soup pot, gently cook bacon being careful not to burn. Leave the rendered fat in the pot and remove the crisp bacon.
Set the bacon aside after breaking it up.
Saute the onion in the bacon fat. Don't allow to burn.
Add tomatoes, garlic and broken up bacon. Stirring occasionally, simmer until tomatoes are tender. (about 20 minutes)
Add the wine and simmer 5 minutes.
Add broth and simmer until mixture is reduced a little to concentrate flavor. (about 15 minutes)
Stir in chipotle chilies and oregano. Simmer 5 minutes.
Puree soup using a stick blender or food processor.
If still a little fibrous, run the soup thru a food mill.
Stirring soup, add the cream and bring to serving temperature.
Garnish with cracked black pepper.
Actually better the next day.
