• 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
• 1 cup of finely diced carrots
• 1 cup of finely diced onion
• 1 cup of finely diced celery

Instructions

First, heat up some olive oil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Then, sauté carrots, onions, and celery for a few minutes. After that, add both fresh and canned diced tomatoes, tomato paste, chicken broth, oregano, and dried basil. Boil the mixture until the vegetables are tender. Use a blender to puree the soup until it’s smooth and then return it to the pot.

In a separate pot over medium heat, melt some butter. Stir in flour and whisk constantly for about 10 minutes until the mixture turns golden brown. Gradually add ladlefuls of soup to the new pot to form a thick paste. Stir well until smooth. Transfer the mixture back into the soup pot and combine everything.
