Egg Free, Dairy Free Fresh Tomato Soup

This fresh tomato soup is worth the small amount of extra work. It is very good with safe grilled cheese sandwiches, biscuits, or anything you desire.

Fresh Tomato Soup

6 cups chopped tomatoes (since they will be blended, they do not have to be small -
          I cut cherry tomatoes in half)
3 cups chicken broth
3 tbsp dairy free margarine
3 tbsp flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp pepper

Place the tomatoes and broth in a soup pot over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes over a light boil. Use an immersion blender to blend until smooth. In a separate small saucepan, melt the margarine. Whisk in the flour. Add a little of the tomato mixture then whisk until smooth. Add the salt, sugar, and pepper then heat until thickened.
*  If you don't have an immersion blender, you can allow the mixture to cool a little then blend in a regular blender.

This Tomato Soup Meatloaf had a nice flavor and held together perfectly. It also reheated great the next day. I made 4 smaller meatloaves instead of 1 big meatloaf.
