Backyard Garden Tomato Soup

Backyard Garden Tomato Soup


1. In a 4-quart saucepan, combine the oil, onions, peppers and garlic.

2. Cook over medium-high heat for 1 minute; cover, reduce heat to low and cook for 5 minutes.

3. Add the tomatoes, water, vegetable stock, basil and mint.

4. Bring to a boil over medium heat and simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are just tender.

5. Chef's Note: Mint and tomatoes make a beautiful pair.

6. The sweetness of the mint counteracts the natural acidity in the tomatoes and eliminates the need for added sugar.
