What to do when it rains first time in 6 weeks - pick tons of cracked tomatoes and make a soup!

This one is easy to make:

Ingredients:

4 Cups of chopped tomatoes
1 Onion, finely chopped
1/2 Bell Pepper chopped
2 Cups of chicken broth (or stock)
1/2 Stick of butter
2 Tbs of olive oil (can be any other vegetable oil)
1/3 Cup of flower
3 Cloves
2 Bay leafs
Salt/Pepper to taste
1/4 Cup of Half and Half (or heavy whipping cream - at serving)

Preparation:


- In the large, heated pot, add bell peppers, olive oil and onions, sweat the onions just until translucent
- Add tomatoes, cloves, bay leafs, broth/stock, bring to a boil and simmer for 20 min.
- Pour the mixture into the blender, and pure it until uniform
- In same cooking pot (now empty) add butter, melt it, add flower (making a rue), keep whisking until the color is light golden brown.
- Carefully poor tomato mixture (a little at first) back int the pan, whisk well, and add the rest of the mixture.
- Cook (stirring occasionally) for 10 min on medium heat (or until it comes to a boil)
- Serve and enjoy (about 1 Tbs of half and half slowly poured into the center of the bowl)
