Preparation:
Cut tomatoes in bite-sized pieces and place with tomato liquid in a saucepan; add onions, tomato paste, chicken broth, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil; simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Remove bay leaf. Cool about 15 minutes, then turn into blender or food processor fitted with steel blade. Cover; blend at low speed until well-mixed. Meanwhile, heat milk, but do not allow it to boil or burn. Combine tomato mixture and hot milk. Simmer, stirring constantly, until hot enough to serve. Garnish with parsley. |
