Recipe from Michelle Scott of California

4 tablespoons butter
1 large onion, chopped
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons flour
3 1/2 pounds ripe tomatoes, chopped (I use canned more often than not)
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon sugar
3 cups broth (vegetable or chicken)
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup heavy cream

1. Melt the butter over low heat in a pot.

2. Add the onion; cook over low heat for 8 to 10 minutes, until soft.
Add the garlic during the last 2 minutes, stirring. Sprinkle with flour
and cook 3 minutes longer, stirring.

3. Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, sugar, and broth. Bring to a boil,
reduce heat to a simmer and cover; cook over medium-low heat for 30
minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and cool
slightly.

4. Purée the soup in a food processor - I use the hand blender and do
it right in the pot. Stir in the heavy cream.

5. Warm the soup before serving.

    In Italian, the word "gelato" means "frozen" more than it means "ice cream." So, for as much as we have heard that gelato is the Italian equivalent of ice cream, this "gelato" is really a frozen mousse
    In Italian, the word "gelato" means "frozen" more than it means "ice cream." So, for as much as we have heard that gelato is the Italian equivalent of ice cream, this "gelato" is really a frozen mousse of a dessert. Quick and easy, with no ice cream maker needed, this dessert may be served as a chilled mousse or frozen completely as a "gelato."

    Celebrate warm weather with nature's sweet berries. Simply served with a light dusting of powdered sugar, this dessert is not a sugar overload, because it relies on the natural sweetness of in-season berries.

    Here is smoky and slightly spicy twist on fried catfish. Instead of coating the catfish in a thick beer batter, I marinate the raw pieces in beer before seasoning them and lightly dredging them in flour
