Quick and Savory Tomato Soup.

Gluten Free Recipe from the 1920s.

This tomato chowder recipe calls for fat, which makes for a savory soup worthy of the coldest February day. I threw all of the ingredients into the slow cooker and put it on high for 4 hours. Turned out great.

Servings: 6
Prep Time: 5 min.
Cook Time: 4 hrs. | 1 hr.

Ingredients

• 1 quart canned tomatoes
• 1 large onion chopped
• 1 quart water or stock
• 1/4 cup brown rice
• 4 Tbsp. fat (bacon fat, but butter will work)
• 2 tsp. salt
• 1/4 tsp. paprika
• Ground pepper to taste

I did not add the flour to thicken because we are a gluten free family, but you could thicken it with corn starch. I did use a hand blender at the end to make the soup smooth. Enjoyed this with cheesy corn chips for lunch and have several take-to-work containers waiting for me in the fridge.
