Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- 1 stalk celery finely chopped
- 1 carrot finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 14.5 ounce cans diced tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Melt the butter in the large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, carrot, and garlic, and cook until softened. Add the flour and stir until incorporated, then cook 1-2 minutes. Add the tomato paste and stir to combine.
- Add the chicken broth, diced tomatoes, sugar, and nutmeg to the pot. Bring the soup to a simmer, cover, reduce the heat, and simmer 15 minutes, until the vegetables are soft.
- Puree the soup using an immersion blender, or in batches in a regular blender with the lid open to let steam escape. If desired, leave 1/4 - 1/2 of the soup unblended for a chunkier texture.
- Add the heavy cream, salt and pepper, and taste the soup. Adjust seasonings as needed.
