Tomato Soup

This is the soup Hubby makes every year with tomatoes and onions from our garden. It makes a big batch which we freeze to eat later.

5 medium onions
2 1/2 garlic cloves
5 Tbsp butter or margarine
5 lbs tomatoes, washed and chopped (peeling is optional, we usually don't)
2 1/2 tsp chicken bouillon
2 1/2 tsp sugar
1 1/4 tsp salt
5/8 tsp pepper

In a lg pot or Dutch oven, saute onions and garlic in butter til tender. Add tomatoes, bouillon, sugar, and seasonings. Cover and simmer til tender. Remove from heat; cool. Puree in blender.

If eating right away:
Return soup to pot and heat through.

If freezing:
Pour or ladle soup into freezer-safe containers.

Makes about 4 qts.
