Simple Tomato Soup With Dill (No Basil!)

• 1 tablespoon butter
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 (28 ounce) can peeled and diced tomatoes
• 1/2 - 3/4 teaspoon dried dill weed
• 1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 10 ounces water
• 1 teaspoon chicken base (Better Than Bouillon)
• 1 bay leaf
• sour cream (optional)

1. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring until tender.
2. Stir in the tomatoes, water, chicken base, and season with dill weed, pepper, bay leaf and optional salt.
3. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer gently for 45 minutes.
4. Remove from heat, and discard bay leaf.
5. Use a food processor or hand blender to puree the soup in small batches until smooth.
6. Serve immediately with a dollop of sour cream.
7. You could chill it and serve it cold, but I have never had any leftovers to try it this way!
