Cream of Tomato Soup

The smell of simmering onion, lemon, and bay leaf is most fragrant. Make this lower-cholesterol by leaving out the cream, if desired. Serves 4-6.

Simmer until tender (1 hr. or so):

> 1 lg. onion, in chunks > 2 carrots, in chunks > 2 to 4 bay leaves

Add to the pot when veggies are cooked, letting simmer 5 to 10 mins. more:

> ½ lemon, sliced, seeded

Set broth aside; remove bay leaves. Process the above until smooth. Add the following and process again:

> 16-oz. can whole tomatoes

With processor running, add:

> ¼ c. olive oil > ½ c. cream > 2 tsp. salt > Optional: 2 TBS. frozen orange juice concentrate

Reheat, thinning with water as needed.
