Here's one I often use with fresh or canned tomatoes.
Jim, looking forward to the tomato-dill.
Tomato Soup
2 Tbsp unsalted butter
1 very small onion, finely chopped
1 small bay leaf
1 tsp dried thyme or 2 tsp fresh
2 small shallots (or 2 shallot cloves), finely chopped
1 small clove garlic, minced
1 can (28-oz.) diced tomatoes in juice*
pinch or two sugar**
pinch ground mace
pinch cayenne
2-4 Tbls light cream
salt
freshly ground white pepper
homemade marjoram croutons for garnish, optional
Melt the butter in a med pot oven over med-high heat. Sauté the onion with the bay leaf and thyme till the onion is translucent, about 4-5 minutes. Add the shallot and cook till the onions are lightly browned, abut 5-6 min more. Add the garlic and sauté till fragrant, about 1 min. Remove the bay leaf and discard. Add the tomatoes with the juices, the sugar, mace and cayenne. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer the soup until the tomatoes are soft, about 15 minutes.
Transfer it to a blender (or use an immersion blender) and purée the soup as smoothly as desired. Reduce further over med heat, uncovered, if desired. Stir in the cream to taste. Season the soup to taste with salt and white pepper.
* I often use peeled fresh tomatoes instead. Cut up in your hand over a strainer over a bowl to catch juices but strain out seeds.
** Start with a small amount sugar. More can be added near the end of cooking, if needed.
Options: I almost always make marjoram croutons. If the tomatoes are less sweet than desired I usually add 1/2-1 sweet red bell pepper, finely chopped and sauteed with the onion at the outset, rather than up the sugar. It would be good with the Q addition, imo. Another thing I think would be good is to add a dried chile (I'd probably use a guajillo, and/or cascabel, seeded and reconstituted with hot water) to the soup when the tomatoes are added. The red bell and the dried chile(s) addition would definitely be one I'd consider if planning to add Q which is, btw, a very good idea. A garnish of diced ripe avocado would not be unwelcome.
