Tomato Bisque

Saute the following in a sprayed Dutch Oven or large kettle for several minutes:
1 large onion-chopped
4 garlic cloves-minced
3 stalks of celery-chopped
Add:
3 carrots-chopped-continue sauteing for several minutes

Add:
about 4 quarts fresh tomato's, quartered-do not need to remove peel
2 teaspoons dried basil
Cook about 1 hour-after cooking run the mixture through a food mill, too remove peels.

Return mixture to Dutch Oven
In a small container, add about 1/3 cup flour to water to thicken tomatos.
Add thickener to tomatos, stir for about 5 minutes.

Add about 4-6 Herb Ox, no sodium, Chicken Bouillon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1-2 Tablespoons Agave Nectar- (Start with 1 Tablespoon, you can always add more if you like it sweeter.)
Lots of fresh ground black pepper to taste
I did add a few pinches of sea salt.
A touch of Cayenne Pepper-if you like it HOT.

Turn off heat:
Add:
1 container soy creamer and enough plain soy milk to the consistency desired.

Add more seasonings if desired.

Serve with fresh chopped basil on top of bisque
Also a nice high fiber roll or bread would be great with this bisque.

Enjoy!!!

This recipe can be changed to your own taste.
I added arrowroot instead of flour to thicken bisque.
Also I added 2 Tablespoons of Tomato Powder that someone in CHIP gave me. This is not necessary.
